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.

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.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with an off white to almost tan quarter finger's head. Sliding lacing.
Aroma: meshes an absolutely wonderful blend of piney/resinous hops to roasty & toasty malts with smooth coffee beans
Flavor: takes the piney/resinous hops to sweetly blend with the roast to add that ample bitter character, nice piney & roasty aftertaste
Texture: medium bodied with lotsa smoothness, minimal bitter sharpness
Overall: absolutely wonderful Black IPA, exceptionally worthy of returning to

Color naranja espesa y turbia como puré de mango, sin espuma. Aroma fresco y frutal, melocotón, mango, piña, sin mayores complicaciones. En boca es un smoothie de mango y piña con un discreto puntito ácido, rica y fresca, aunque carente de complejidad.
