Max (with a little help from Freddie) with what's going on this weekend at the BrewPub on Totterdown Art Trail weekend.
Just sat down to a very good craft beer from a very small village close to Liepaja named Bārta. The beer is predictably called Bārtas alus (beer from Bārta).
This is a small artisanal brewery that quote "brewed from local malt, real fire brewing, unfiltered & unpasteurised"
The malt is not too strong, in fact a very balanced beer with a pleasant finish.

Beer testing at the local brewery. One thing I noticed here is that every major town has its own brewery! The other weird thing, it has a heated bar! (Warm air blows from underneath the bar 😳). Considering it's summer & the wind chill factor outside feels like -5, it probably makes sense.
The only downside is they serve beer in girly wine glasses...WTF??
