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.

BEER SHOP

  • Bog honey 6,5% (without malt)

    Dry mead brewed with bog myrtle and 5% lingonberry juice. The northerly meager tastescape of a bog is introduced by the refreshing sour and bitter aromas of lingonberry and myrtle. On tongue they pick up some residual sweetness from honey that enriches the bittersweet bog myrtle experience, with a sparky dry lingonberry finish.

  • Smokey 6,4%

    A dark smoked beer that has been enjoyed for millennia by anyone who bathed in smoke saunas, while the malt was kilned on top of it. The aroma is overwhelmed by notes of smoky plum with the breadiness of the dark base malts. Sweet smokiness on the tongue from the Franconian beech wood with some malty caramel and balancing grassy bitterness of Saaz hop on the finish.

  • JACK 5,2%

    The tastescape of the latvian rural lager is a result of centuries of mingling among latvian and german brewing traditions. This contemporary version is dominated by the bready sweetness of protein rich latvian barley, which slowly fades into the gentle bitterness of Sladek hops.

  • FOREST 5,5%

    Inspired by Latvian folk songs on juniper beer, this one will resemble a refreshing walk in our corniferous seaside forests. Brewed with juniper berries and a variety of hops derived from regional wild hops - Kazbek. Fruity and resinous, with a lightly kilned malt backbone and a blasphemously inviting finish.

  • PETER THE HOP 8,2%

    All the rage of the 90s California captured in an imperial IPA. Brewed with the pillars of the new world of hops at that time - Columbus, Centennial, Cascade, Amarillo, and Citra. Each hop adds to the thickness of the wave of bitterness, that crashes upon a mountain of lightly caramelised malts. The epic landscape fades slowly into warmth.

  • Wizard 7,6% (without malt)

    Historical pictish wholehive heather mead, mentioned in both Ancient Roman chronicles and Scandinavian legends. The dry sparkling drink invites to the tastescape of a bee hive. The sweet aroma of propolis is followed by the flowery bee pollen and dryly mossy heather blossoms. All of which fades into a humming apiary.

  • Aronia Witch 5,1%

    Modern berry ale with a sweet and softly tart tastescape. Chokeberry juice is fermented with a wort packed with extra light caramel malts at a ratio 1/7. That allows to degrade the berry`s natural astringency to a crispy dryness that ends in a juicy fruitiness with some light malt sweetness.

  • Kirsu_mezonis_cherry_ale

    CHERRY WILDLING 6,2% 2023 (375ml)

    A unique ale brewed with Brettanomyces lambicus since October of 2022 and matured on fresh cherries at ratio of 1/3 since July 2023. The result is an ale with explicitly redish berry like acidity and a rich spiciness of wild yeast esters and phenols. All this in a carmine red with a penetrating fruitiness that belies the alcohol content. Maturation on cherrywood chips before bottling gives the ale a gently smoky sweetness with a pleasantly dry aftertaste that makes the glass empty faster than perhaps it should.

  • 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.
