Our story – the rooted strength!

Each of us is like a reflection of the place from which we have arisen, inheriting its character and values. Whether it’s the language and accent you’re talking, the jokes only you laugh at, the traditions you respect, or the beer you enjoy. The small but special things that make you attractive. This is your rooted strength to be proud of.

We, the people of Piebalga, are proud of our corner as well. Here we have clean environment, great history, beautiful hills and dales of Vidzeme. The beautiful terrain is not appreciative for the agricultural processing, so the natives of Piebalga have always been creative people with strength who can make great things even out of the little. Great masters, craftsmen and high-calibre people of Latvian culture have come from us, creating and holding the special Latvian taste.

This determination and imagination for the people of Piebalga is present also in the brewing business. We like to brew beer as before, when taste was important, not just the ability to produce more. We are pleased with those who follow fashion and bring modern flavours to our land, but we consider our task to be the maintenance of a lively, traditional taste of Latvian beer.

Therefore so much we do in the old fashioned way and are proud of it. We still brew the beer also in the open tanks, boiling its own must for each variety, so that they are not mixed together. We lay the beer in a real beer cellar, so that it is thoroughly prepared. We take water from our own borehole in the brewing process, and we are very proud of it, while in the fermentation process we use our own yeast, which we have been holding live for more than 20 years, in order to ensure a high quality and invariably Latvian taste.

But we can’t be called stubborn. We are open and able to put traditions in a modern form. We are proud of our county and speak direct language, sometimes deriding the others. But we never utter empty words, our speech is always followed by deeds!

It’s our dipper, you certainly have your own one. Maybe these are the customs of your neighbourhood, dances, songs that stir your heart, but maybe a bread with that special flavour that evokes memories and pride on your corner. But you know that when you choose Piebalgas beer, you will find an invariable Latvian taste that will give power to speeches and works. Remember, that strength comes from your roots!

Сonsumption of alcohol has a negative impact. it is prohibited to sell it, buy it and pass it on to minors.

Our beer – a constant Latvian taste

Piebalga is Latvia’s most ecologically clean county, with a rich history and an irresistible landscape. We respect the roots of this county and brew the beer in the way the old neighbourhood brewers have done.

We achieve the specific nature and taste of Piebalgas beer because:

  • We continue to brew consistently, following the traditions of the classical German Reinheitsgebot adopted of 1512 or the Brewers’Code of Honour.
  • We are one of the rare breweries in Latvia, which still uses also open fermentation technology, thereby ensuring the uniqueness of beer born with its tantrums and tricks, and each brew must be cherished just like a little child.
  • We grow our own yeast, which is a raw material unique and characteristic only to our brewery, with its own microclimate and environment. In order to ensure availability of the yeast, it has been safely stored at the Latvia University of Agriculture and is reared for the harvesting of lots.
  • Our brewing skills are demonstrated by us through use of only four ingredients in production: borehole water itself, barley malt, hops and our own grown yeast.

Limited assortment of our brewery is filled by us in PET packaging, however, we strongly believe that real fermented beers and kvass have their place in glass bottles and metal kegs. As a socially responsible and nature-friendly company, we actively support re-collection and re-use of our glass containers in the manufacturing process.

The motto of the times of surveyors’ “Keep and stay up!” is unchanged today as well – moderate beer use is beneficial for our health.
