Aldaris Beer Museum Riga

It's all about beer

Zaiga from Riga

About me I have been working in nature NGO's for 10 years. Been involved in many nature restoration projects, but my biggest challenge was leading a waste paper collection project in 400 Latvian schools. We saved lots of trees!

""Aldaris Beer Museum" Riga is a museum that exhibits everything and anything you can think of when it comes to beer. Not just exhibitions but also a bar!"

It is strange that a country with so many beer lovers didn't have a beer museum. Luckily some years ago the Aldaris beer museum and workshop opened near brewery Aldaris. It is situated in an old part of the brewery -- some of the rooms hadn't been used since 1938. Now it is renovated and there is the possibility to see copper beer kettles from those times. That makes this museum special; it is not something just put down there, it has been there for a long time and made beer for many previous generations.

Aldaris offers not just exhibitions. There is also a bar, where you can sit down and look at their beer collection or a virtual presentation of their most famous variety of beers. You can also book a beer-making master class and also make your own unique beer. But you will have to wait a month till it is ready if you want to drink it ;).

The charm of old industrial buildings can be found not only inside, but especially outside in the yard.

Important: the beer museum is in the yard, near the industrial part of the brewery. Look for the signs.

Public transport: Tram No 5. Stop "Aldaris". But there's also a better option; closer to the brewery is minibus No 267. Stop "Aldaris".

About me I have been working in nature NGO's for 10 years. Been involved in many nature restoration projects, but my biggest challenge was leading a waste paper collection project in 400 Latvian schools. We saved lots of trees! I like to do many things and my only problem is the lack of time to do everything I want, because I like to sleep too :D. I am so different, same as Riga. Meeting old friends and making new ones, meet strangers and spending time talking with them is what I like. At same time I like to be totally alone in the city, walk around in city or nature, ...
