Iļģuciema Medalus

This beer is based on the original lager recipe with adding of natural flower honey which results in a gentle sweet flavour. From the old days beer with honey was called “Heady Honey” or mead.

Initially mead was made of honey fermented in buried oak barrel. It was a traditional drink for celebrations. In the middle ages (14th-15th century) honey beer even affected the social and political situation in Riga as it was an export product with high added value.

In 2012 we started production of Original Honey Beer in 30-litre metal kegs.
In 2013 the Cranberry taste was launched.
Since 2015 Medalus (Honey Beer) is bottled in glass.

No preservatives, no flavour enhancers, no colorants added.
The Honey Beer is produced of water from a 170-metre deep artesian well.
Highly appreciated by wholesale dealers such as pubs and restaurants.
