Established in 2017
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.

440ml can. Cloudy, dark yellow-ish, golden colour with average, frothy, slowly osteoporosing, moderately lacing, white head. Fruity hoppy aroma, wheaty and oaty malty background, hints of mango, orange, blueberry, some juniper berry. Taste is sweet-ish, wheaty and oaty malty as well as mildly bitter, citrusy and tropical fruity hoppy, notes of mango, orange, some passion fruit, blueberry, a touch of juniper berry.
Dissolved sugar enriched, watery and minimally oily texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying and greasy, simultaneously minimally dry palate, medium, scattered mildly prickly carbonation.
Rather sweet and fruity, fairly intense hoppiness - good!

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!

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.
