Not a stone's throw from the Latvian capital Riga are the hallowed halls of a small but fine brewery: Ārpus Brewing.
The microbrewery was founded in 2017. Behind the label is a team of beer-loving geeks whose heart beats for craft beer. After years of drinking other brewers' finest creations and getting lost in the endless expanses of flavor, it was time to brew their own beer. At Ārpus, we only brew what the ladies and gentlemen behind the kettles themselves prefer to drink: ales with juicy fruit and so much hops that you get dizzy, ultra-fruity and crispy sour beers, challenging stouts with a dark soul and magical ones Specialty beers. These sometimes crazy beers don't always appeal to the general public, but that's not the goal. Ārpus beers are brews for connoisseurs and gourmets. Their courage to brew beer for special moments is repeatedly rewarded with awards. The brewers are particularly proud of the title “best brewery in the Baltics,” which they received from the beer rating platform Untappd.
The name of the brewery is Latvian. The word Ārpus means something like outside, away from, outside or far from the limits. The team chose this title because it best suits their concept: their beer should be unconventional and outside of rules and conventions. The taste and character should be clearly different from industrially produced examples and the powerful aroma of the brewed pieces should inspire people to leave their comfort zone and try new things. Their range is a varied mix of powerful India Pale Ales, exceptional specialty beers with special ingredients and collaborations with brewers from all over Europe and Russia. Among the brewers who have already sat at the table with Ārpus are some whose exquisite products also adorn our shelves. Examples include Sibeeria Brewing , Folkingebrew and Sori Brewing Company . Cross-border collaboration between brewers has many advantages. The breweries can exchange ideas, share experiences and knowledge, learn about new techniques or raw materials and make friends - but for us the highlight is the beer that comes out at the end.
