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.

Aus der Dose (bbe 30.06.2026) im 2025-12 getrunken. Bei diesen Ale zeigen sich deutlich das Erdbeer Aroma im Vordergrund und dahinter die Aprikosen. Abgerundet wird das durch eine sehr gut balancierte Citrussäure. Ein tolles Ales!

Can from Beer in a Box. Big ripe fruit aroma with sugary orange, malt, marmalade, stone fruit, apricot, a little alcohol. Fairly sweet with a mild to medium bitterness. Above medium body. Bittersweet and ripe.

Draught Small if consistent purple-pinkish head over fully muddy purple beer. Superb, intense fruit/berries' aroma. I get blackberry, raspberry, strawberry and vanilla amongst others. Smoked and cinnamon'ed' overlying lactic- and fruitacids. Sour, but very inviting. Despite low ABV, fully chewy and fruit-filled. Well-carbonated, and indeed smoothie consistency. Nice! Despite the MF, this is still beer!

Draught Frothy, lacey white head over still, metallic golden beer. Exotic fruit, felt, moss, faint asafoetida. Bitter with a crisp, somehow breakfast grains' finish. Fruitiness is somewhat subdued in comparison to the nose. Long bitter finish. Definitely a tad undercarbonated. Light, but pretty tastefull. Original, a pale ale with more hops than CO².

Tap at Drinkoteka. Hazy amber-golden body, off-white head. Citric, earthy aroma... Ārpus but slightly better than usual. Citric, mainly orange notes in the taste, more earthy notes, ending dry and bitterish, even lightly astringent. Again, a typical, maybe slightly above average ĀPA, that I might only remember one day as my accidental unique review no. 22K hahahah.
