Labietis is a craft brewery and brewpub based in Riga, Latvia, founded in 2013. From the start, its founders built their identity around what they call "pagan brewing" — an approach that draws on Baltic cultural heritage, pre-Christian traditions, and the use of local herbs and botanicals alongside conventional brewing ingredients. The brewery quickly established itself as a landmark in Riga's craft beer scene, earning a loyal following among locals and visitors alike. The portfolio at Labietis is broad and distinctly unconventional. Rather than sticking to mainstream styles, the brewery explores the intersection of modern craft brewing and ancient Latvian and Baltic traditions. Their beers incorporate Baltic herbs and other regionally inspired ingredients, resulting in a range that spans fruit beers, ales, and fermented specialities including mead. The brewery describes its work as contemporary beer with a touch of cultural history, a philosophy that sets it apart from most European craft producers. Labietis has attracted international attention, appearing in publications such as Forbes as one of the world's notable beer destinations for 2026. Their taproom and brewpub in Riga is considered a must-visit for beer travellers exploring the Baltic states, and their beers are available in specialist beer shops across the Netherlands and beyond. The brewery has also collaborated on historically inspired brews tied to archaeological discoveries, further cementing its reputation as one of the most culturally engaged craft breweries in the region.
