Description
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.

On tap at Biererei Bar & Vintage Cellar, Saturday 24th January 2026 in the company of Nick, Anna, Charlie, Sarah, Ryan and Honey. Pours murky yellow with a mid sized white head. Very thick mouthfeel, hugely hoppy, sweet but a touch agressive but also softens quickly, hops rasp the tongue. Good. Score 7.4

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Fairly bitter with an aroma of fruity NZ hop, citrus, pineapple, tropical fruit. Not dank. Dry bitter flavour, medium body, could be a bit more smooth.

Aus der Dose (bbe 31.07.2026) im 2026-01 getrunken. Diese orangene Ale ist zwar keine typsiche Berliner Weiße, aber ein tolle Sour Ale mit hervoragemd ausgearbeiteten Aprikosen Aroma. Toll!

Color amarillo anaranjado, tipo natillas, turbia y opaca, espuma blanca cremosa bien retenida. Delicioso pestazo a fruta tropical, fruta de hueso, hierba, resina y cebolleta. Sedosa, compleja y contundente en boca, repleta de notas frutales, herbales, resinosas...Dulzor licoroso, final amargo y seco... y ese enorme pestazo que emana de la copa cada vez que me la acerco a la boca. Trago corto y con calma, aunque cuidado, el atemperado le hace crecer mucho en matices y puede llegar a saturar, solo para ese momento especial. En cualquier caso: Birrote.

Прям очень странно для саура от Арпус, все остальные что я пробовал были топчиками, но этот как каша из рта деда.

Aus der Dose (bbe 30.06.2026) im 2026-01 getrunken. Diese pupurne Ale macht mit dem Kokos-Aroma und diesem spannenden Frucht-Aroma-Kombination einfach Spaß. Es ist immer wieder überraschend was Ārpus ins Glas zaubert.

Med-thinnish body, light carbo. Medium warmth, pleasant. Med-hi sweet, med-lite bitter. Rather barleywineish, the stout bit is a bit lost in the mix. A very good mix tho. Lots of dried fruits, med choco. Very good, decadent sipper.

Med-thin bod, med carbo. Med-high bitter, med-light sweet, light zesty. Medium citrusy and exotic hops character, not overfucked, which is kinda nice, but at the same time could use more oomph.GBNG.
