About
Ārpus Brewing Co. is an independent microbrewery, founded in 2017 by craft beer geeks from Latvia. We brew what we love - juicy hop forward ales, fruity sour beers and bold imperial stouts - and we’re proud that Ārpus Brewing Co. is voted as #1 brewery in the Baltic States on Untappd.
We chose Latvian word Ārpus for the name of our brewery, as its meaning reflects the types of beers we brew - outside the box, beyond the mass made lagers, beers with overwhelming flavours and aromas for people brave enough to step out of their comfort zone.
The brewery is located just outside Riga (Latvia), equipped with a 10hL brewhouse and 20hL fermentation vessels. Our beer is packaged in 440mL cans and KeyKegs, then stored in a cold room to keep it fresh longer.

TCBW2026. Coppery black colour with a small head. Aroma is dried fruits, some liquorice, chocolate and mild alcohol with some slightly wooden tones as well. Flavour is rather similar, but is sadly a wee bit too sweet for my likes.

TCBW2026. Hazy murky yellow colour with a minor head. Aroma is mango, coconut, some vanilla, pineapple and slight sticky rice and toffeeish tones to it. Flavour is pretty much following that pattern with some slight tartish elements to it as well.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear dark brown beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Airy palate, a little dry, decent fine carbonation. Mellow dark malts, a pretty good dark chocolate streak but a touch of artificial candy about it. Good rich ripe fruitiness. A good mix of the port and plum liqueur barrels. A tangy sweet - bitter thing going on and a little dry alcohol spice. Airy dry finish. A tasty and unusual affair, for me, not fully coherent but, enjoying the left field nature of it.
