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.

Tap at Drinkøteka. Murky golden-orange body, off-white head. Some Ā resinous earthiness, some tropical and white grape hoppy notes in the aroma, cucumber skin, sweetish. Lean, sweet taste, earthy resinous, citrusy notes, white grapes. Eh. Meh.

Tap at Ø. Murky shiny orange body, no head. Mango absolutely dominates the aroma, trace apple at best. Smooth mango- and banana-driven taste, apple along the edges. Cinnamon? Not much of it. Good stuff overall, one of their tastiest smoothies.
