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.

Lilac elder 6.6% (375ml)
€4.60A seasonal blend of spontaneous fermentation beers from 2020 and 2022. Shortly before bottling this beer has been lusciously dryherbed with freshly picked lilacs at 50g per liter. The result hits the nose with the bittersweet aroma of lilac, which transforms the typical horseblanket of the style into a almost melon. However, in the taste, this apparent softness is replaced by the funky and spicy bouquet of wild yeasts, while notes of synthetically bittersweet lilac remain in the background. Finishes with a lingering aftertaste of ripe summer and good mood.

BLACK CURRANT WILDLING 7,1% (375ml)
€5.09Fermented with Brettanomyces yeasts typical to the Senna river valley and maturated for a couple of months on fresh Latvian blackcurrant berries and leaves of the 2023 season. In the aroma the dry and spicy notes of the blackcurrant leaves outplay the yeast esters, whose soft mossiness slightly slows the screamingly thick and brutally tart juiciness of the berries on the tongue. Pleasantly spicy horse blanket reveals istelf in the aftertaste once the juiciness recedes.

VIBURNUM WILDLING 7.2% (375ml)
€4.54Berry ale brewed according to the traditional Belgian method. Fermented with yeasts of the genus Brettanomyces, after which matured for 3 months on viburnum berries picked after the first frosts, at a ratio of 1/8. The nose is immediately occupied by the haunting timber like aroma of viburnum berries. On the tongue the viburnum berries open up and the bitter aroma is complemented by a haunted sweetness with a slight acidity. Just moving into the aftertaste, wild yeast esters also appear on the scene, which allows this show to move into the tracks of conventionally recognizable flavors that draw in the bare aesthetics of a late autumn forest.
