Craft Beer Brewery Latvia

CONTEMPORARY
BREWING

The beer culture does not stand still because we're developing it.

Labietis isn't brewed according to the recipes of German barons or the traditions of our ancestors. We brew beer here and now, inspired by the diversity of world styles. Labietis began as a countercurrent to boring beer that has sunk into the shallows of industrial brewing tastes.

We're supporting local culture without falling behind global craft beer trends. Modern beer brewing is without borders.

PAGAN BREWS

The oldest archaeologically recorded beer sediments are 5000 years old. The oldest references - 13,000 years old.

Our inspiration comes from a time before beer had classification of styles and rules - when herbs and juicy fruits were used in brewing. History is enigmatic and we interpret it in flavors.

HONESTLY BREWED

Labietis started in an open space instead of a closed factory with the idea that everyone can watch the brewing process while sitting in a pub.

We stand for honest brewing and we're vouching for the quality of every ingredient, from hand-harvested heather to overseas hops or exotic fruit purees.

  • Rozā vienradzis 5,8%

    Juicy sweet and aromatic pale ale. The nose is overwhelmed with the all the exotic fruit notes of Bru1, Mosaic and Citra hops, surrounded on the tongue by the sticky sweetness of oat and wheat malts. All of it underlined by fruitiness of the low flocculation yeast. A dense tastescape with a particularly long lasting aftertaste.

  • ROWAN WILDLING 6.4%

    A unique beer made by giving fresh wort to some wild yeast from last year. After almost a year of slow fermentation, in August we poured the beer on fresh rowan berries in a ratio of 1/5. The resulting tastescape is both ascetic and deeply piercing. The astringent dryness characteristic of rowan berries here is overcome by a bitter juiciness, which slowly turns into a melanholic sweetness. All of this sensation is escorted by the gently fair scent of freshly prepared rowan sauna brush and perfectly enriched with various wild yeast esters.

  • Beekeepers Widow (Barrel Aged) 14%

    This is a limited version of our classic braggot, brewed with 2/3 honey and 1/3 specialized barley malts, that has been further aged in a tawny port barrel. The additional couple of months of exposure to the portwine imbued oak has enriched the braggot with flavours of dried fruit, vanilla, cloves and hints of pipe tobacco smoke. The rich and saturated tastescape allows you to sail off to Madagascar with the crew of Adam Baldridge, while being comfortable in your favourite woolies at the fireplace.

  • 56°50'20.6 4,5%

    Inspired by the wild beauty of the west coast of Latvia. Wild thyme and heather - both characteristic vegetation for the austere landscape - pin down the aromatics of the Baltic coast with a touch of earthy Sladek hops to complete the tastescape. Embraced by high density of lightly caramelised malts to recreate the mossy softness on your soul.

  • Judge 5.9%

    Resinously bitter smoked beer. On the nose pine shoots and Columbus hops alongside oak smoked wheat malt create a peculiarly fruity first impression. However, the tongue enters into a citrusy pungent bitterness, which is partly balanced by the sweetness of the lightly caramelized barley and the smoothness of rye. With a pleasantly refreshing smoldering aftertaste.

  • WHITE SPARROW 4.8%

    Loud and flashy Belgin wit brewed with a German weiss yeast. The spicy acidity of lemongrass and the lime bitterness of Wakatu hops immediately dominate the stage. The shy flufiness of wheat harmonizes the citrusy lead and ends exoticaly embraced by coriander and yeast esters.

  • Tumsas ragana 15,6%

    This is a contemporary remake of a prehistoric braggot that was served at a funeral in Egtved ~3390 years ago. Using the same raw materials - smoked and roasted wheat, honey, wild berries and wild herbs. On the nose smoked and toasted wheat is surrounded by honey with hints of lindenblossom. Further the sweetness of honey is balanced by slight tartness of cranberries and lingonberries, as well as the bitterness of the bog myrtle. The pleasantly warming strength of the beverage together with coffee notes dominate the aftertaste of this archeological drink.

  • TEARDROP 4,5%

    A style popular in late medieval Goslar. The aroma of lightly soured mash and Goldings hops introduces a refreshing tastescape, where it is enriched by the spiciness of coriander. Followed by the bready sweetness of wheat malt, which is faded by a slight bitterness and finished by a pinch of salt.
