Latvian Craft Beers — Labietis and the Wild Side of the Baltics
Latvia is not the first country that comes to mind when you hear "craft beer" — but that's precisely why Labietis from Riga is such an interesting find. This brewery doesn't try to be just another IPA factory; instead, it draws inspiration from Latvian nature and folklore, crafting beers that are hard to find elsewhere.
Beers Drawing from Latvian Nature
What sets Labietis apart from most European craft breweries is their deep connection to local ingredients. Their beers use Latvian herbs, berries, and wild yeasts in a way that is both authentic and modern. Fruit ale variations with aronia, cherry, and rose, wild-fermented wild ales with complex, earthy character, fruity goses with tomato or pepper, meads, and porters — the assortment is incredibly wide and constantly updated. Even the names of the beers come from Latvian mythology and nature — each bottle is a small journey to the Latvian forests and meadows.
Non-Alcoholic Beers and Meads
Labietis recently expanded their horizons into the non-alcoholic category — and they did it in their own unique way. They are among the few breweries in the world that offer non-alcoholic meads — a product that is almost impossible to find elsewhere. Along with their non-alcoholic beers, this line shows that Labietis approaches every style with equal attention and creativity.
