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.

Tap at Ø. Murky yellow body, off-white, lasting thick off-white head. Pleasant lemon-lime citrusy aroma, low oaty touches in the background. Similar lemon-lime citrus notes, strong herbal kick, soft finish though but gets a bit tart as it warms. Nice, an Ārpus hoppy beer I actually almost like!

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Full on Nelson with white grape, fruity hop, citrus, grass, fruit peel, melon. Mild to medium bitter, bit dry. Very nice throwback to the era when NZ hop was still cool.

Can at home, FRA-ESP on the tv. The Riwaka character is bang on, works really nice, the body is also reasonably crisp, but it’s a HUGE sulphur bomb, to a crazy extent. And I do enjoy sulphur in my pils but this is just way too much. On the upside however, as soon as it clears, we’re back to the green, flowery, elderflower notes, which are really nice. Welp, what a rollercoaster
