Cēsu Alus

Brewing at Cēsis is first recorded in a 1590 audit of Cēsis Castle, which is why the company calls itself the oldest brewery in the Baltic and Nordic countries; the modern company dates from 1995. Olvi’s Estonian subsidiary A. Le Coq bought it in 1999, a new plant opened in 2001, and it became Latvia’s largest beer producer in 2014.
