Tērvete Sarkanais beer

Tērvete is a highly regarded Latvian beer brand, deeply rooted in the agricultural traditions of the Tērvete region in Zemgale. The brewery traces its history back to 1971 when it was established as part of the agricultural cooperative 'Tērvete'. Known for maintaining traditional brewing methods and using ingredients sourced from local lands, Tērvete has become one of the most iconic premium beer brands in Latvia, often associated with high-quality craftsmanship and regional pride.

The brand is owned and operated by AS 'Agrofirma Tērvete', a multidisciplinary agricultural company headquartered in Kroņauce, Tērvete Parish. Unlike many other major Latvian breweries that have been acquired by large international beverage conglomerates, Tērvete has remained locally owned, maintaining its status as an independent national producer. The company oversees the entire production process, from the cultivation of raw materials to the final bottling, ensuring the 'Sarkanais' (Red) beer and other varieties preserve their distinct local character.
