Ārpus Brewing Co.
Microbrewery
in Riga,
Vidzeme,
Latvia 🇱🇻
Associated Venue: FTD Pizza x Ārpus Taproom
- Out of business
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.

One of countless hazy IPAs by this familiar and trusted Latvian craft brewery, now hopped with Vic Secret, Mosaic and Galaxy; can from the Albert Heijn supermarket in the Arteveldestadion in Ghent. Foamy, inches thick, egg-white, dense, creamy, 'Brugse kant'-like lacing, rocky head gradually thinning and eventually breaking, on a cloudy yellow blonde robe with apricot tinge - almost opaque, but not murky. Predictable but still beguiling aroma of lime zest, a blossoming mandarin orchard, fresh lemongrass, granadilla, green guava, papaya, honeydew, cucumber peel, freshly cut green bell pepper, meringue, mangosteen, fresh cake dough, celery salt, diesel. Aromatically sweet-fruity onset, all from hops of course as usual in this style, a wave of papaya, mandarin blossoms, pomelo, lychee, guava and mangosteen, prickly carbonated but with very small bubbles so still feeling creamy; fresh lemon cake dough-y 'soil' drenched in a huge aromatic, tropical hoppiness, adding granadilla and lemongrass to all the guava, papaya and pomelo - retronasally at least, where a hint of sweaty dankness also appears. Its bitterness remains refinedly citrusy and does not disturb the sweet aromatics at all, in fact it only complements them, penetrating the malts - including soapy wheat and velvety oats - to their core, as it ought to be. I am far from the world's most avid NEIPA fan - in fact I already grew tired of their overkill years ago - but this does not leave me completely indifferent, to answer the brewery's statement; especially the fact that I can obtain these beers from a fifteen minutes car ride to a supermarket nearby still baffles me, if I look back at what the beer world has become in the quarter of a century in which I have been following it closely.
Lääge, puuviljane, humalane, tsitrus, laktoos. Ok.
