Discover Riga Beer District 2019
Beer is in Latvians’ blood and brewing is part of their DNA. Thus, it is no surprise that the global craft brewery boom found some highly fertile soil in Latvia.
Portentously, the Riga Beer District is graced by three historical breweries: Kimmel, Kunzendorf and Stritzky. Although these giants foundered amidst the turbulence of history, the spirit of beer lives on. After Valmiermuiža Brewery established its Riga Embassy on the premises of the former Stritzky Brewery, one after another, a host of new pubs opened their doors in this neighbourhood, some of which even installed their own brewing apparatus.
Actively encouraged by the founder of Valmiermuiža Brewery, the neighbours decided to join forces and launch the Riga Beer District. Their goal is to promote the diversity of flavours offered by small craft breweries to both Latvia’s beer lovers and visitors from near and far.
Welcome to a 2.5km route with ten pubs, gastropubs and brew pubs in which you can enjoy over 200 Latvian craft beer varieties!
Beer Tasting in Riga, Latvia
During our trip to Riga, Latvia, we took time to taste Latvian Beer, and found the beer to be so fresh, high quality, and really diverse. Depending on where you are eating or drinking, you’ll find a great mix of beer brewed according to traditional methods, and an explosion of creative microbrews. Trying the varieties of beer was one of my favorite things to do in Riga.
In Riga, some of the traditional styles are the dark, tumšais, variety, which is similar to a German dunkel, and the lighter gaišas variety. You can find these beers all over Riga, at restaurants, and pubs alike. But nowadays, this tradition of beer has made Latvia home to world-class labels featuring IPA’, goses, and other internationally recognized styles of beer.
We enjoyed our more traditional beers with meals at the Riga Central Market, where we at some awesome fish and chips at Silkites un Dillites, and then the next day, we had some more at the Dome Fish Restaurant, which is a tremendous value for a really gourmet lunch experience. By the way, it seems like the lunch specials in Riga, make really fancy restaurants, quite affordable, so that’s something to keep in mind.
To taste the microbrews of Riga, we took a trip to the brewery district, and drank at Labietis and the Valmiermuiza Beer Embassy. While Valmiermuiza is famous for its traditional brewing methods, they also have quite a variety of beers to try, and their bottle shop sells hundreds of other Latvian beers, making it a great place to buy beer as well. Meanwhile, the Labietis brewpub was really fun, and had some fantastic, and creative brews, in a down-to-earth, and fun environment. We liked the amber ale for its interesting herbal aroma.
The city itself, is beautiful, and the diverse styles of architecture and unique cultural history, are definitely reflected in the beer, making for a wonderful travel experience.
Welcome to Riga Beer District!
Latvia is a land, where beer has been highly esteemed for centuries, and where a continual search goes on for new flavours, unique to this region, which explains why so many craft breweries are sprouting up in Latvia.
Look forward to Latvia’s centenary, Valmiermuiža Brewery and its friends - 9 brewpubs, bars and restaurants - , have decided to renew Riga’s historical renown as a Northern European brewing citadel. All craft beer lovers are welcome to visit Riga Beer District – a place, where three large and famous breweries were in operation a century ago, and where, today, nine pubs offer craft beers brewed in Latvia and elsewhere, each of which has its own character, and some of which come complete with their own brewery. Riga Beer District is a place, which every self-respecting beer lover should visit at least once.

I traveled to Riga for only 4 days and managed to see and do a lot in that short given timeframe. Riga is the largest city of the Baltics and offers a lot of cool things to do in Riga itself but also just a short train ride out of the center in Sigulda.
This video showcases the combination of a city trip and and action packed day out in the nature. My personal highlight has been the flight in the vertical wind tunnel Aerodium near Sigulda - if you feel like you can even go Bungee Jumping there.
