About Aldaris
Aldaris is Latvia's oldest and most historic brewery, deeply embedded in the country's cultural heritage and renowned for its traditional Baltic brewing practices.
Founded in Riga during the late 19th century, the brewery has survived the tumultuous history of Latvia, including world wars and Soviet occupation, while maintaining its position as a cornerstone of Latvian brewing tradition. This resilience has made Aldaris more than just a beer producer—it represents an important piece of national industrial and cultural heritage.
The brewery specializes in traditional Baltic lager styles, particularly the distinctive Baltic Porter—a robust, dark beer with complex malt character adapted from British styles but fermented with lager yeast to suit the continental climate. This regional specialty has become one of Aldaris' signature offerings alongside their range of pale lagers and seasonal specialties.
Aldaris' historic brewery complex in Riga has become a cultural landmark, housing a beer museum that documents the history of brewing in Latvia and the Baltic region. This museum has helped preserve brewing heritage while educating visitors about traditional production methods and the cultural significance of beer in Latvian society.
While honoring traditional recipes and methods, the brewery has modernized its facilities to meet contemporary quality standards. Now part of the Carlsberg Group, Aldaris balances its heritage positioning with the resources of a global brewing company while maintaining its distinct Latvian identity.
As consumer interest in authentic regional beer styles has grown, Aldaris has emphasized its historic credentials and traditional recipes, positioning its products as authentic expressions of Baltic brewing culture with particular significance to Latvian national identity and heritage.
