TĒRVETE Brewery was built in 1971 starting the production of the famous and appreciated beer. Over time, the brewery grew, the assortment expanded. Today we offer not only beer, but also kvass, drinking water, cocktails and spices. Not resting on our laurels, we are thinking about new drinks in order to offer customers the best that the Latvian land can give.
TĒRVETE Brewery is a part of the Agrolats group, which brings together companies with the same values, approach to business development, and a common goal – to create a sustainable business environment in Latvia for the sake of common economic development.
TĒRVETE Brewery is born in Latvia. Over the past 10 years more than 15 million euros were invested in the company allowed Tervete to become the fastest growing beverage producer in Latvia, as evidenced by the volume of beverages produced in 2020 – 10 thousand cubic meters!
We are proud that almost all raw materials used in production are grown in Latvia, in our own family of companies.

Valters Paskausks
JSC TērvetesAL Chairman of the Board
Valters started working at the brewery in 2014 as a fermentation technologist, responsible for all stages of the brewing process. After spending several years as the Chairman of the Board of JSC TĒRVETE, he sees the company as his second home full of mutual care and family atmosphere.
“The creative environment reigning here always promotes development and arouses interest in everything related to the beer industry. I really appreciate the dynamic rhythm of work, which allows everyone to be in constant motion and does not let you get bored for a minute. I am also happy to meet new and interesting people here every day. In my opinion, the company is the best teacher – it motivates and creates a desire to constantly learn something new, be aware of both the industry and the business environment in general. The products that I personally create and the results that the company achieves are one of the most important sources of satisfaction that creates true well-being.”
Asked about the priorities that employees value most, Valters says they are perseverance, entrepreneurial spirit, desire to learn, develop and achieve a sense of satisfaction, ability to understand others, true compassion and supporting each other.
Speaking of three basic life principles that are important both for himself and for others, Valters advises:
Don't be afraid of challenges because they make you stronger!
Treat others the way you want them to treat you!
Get inspired by what you do!
Anita Krage (1942-2026)
Former technologist at the Tērvete Brewery (1971–2026)
A true legend of the Latvian brewing industry, she had been with us since the very beginnings of the brewery, serving in various roles — both as its leader and as Head Technologist. “Senču,” “Tērvetes,” “Original,” and many other beer varieties were all created thanks to Anita’s perseverance, precision, and deep passion for her craft. Every product we made was evaluated by her, and we are truly grateful for all that Anita accomplished over these 55 years.
Even at a venerable age, Anita came to the brewery every Monday to work alongside the team — assessing the quality of existing products and contributing to the development of new flavors. Our Mondays will never be the same, as Anita has passed away. Yet her legacy remains — in every recipe, every taste, every standard we set for ourselves. Her example endures: to work with integrity, with respect for people, and with an uncompromising commitment to quality.
As Anita Krāģe once said, the foundation of our success lies in shared values and a steadfast insistence on quality — never compromising, even in the smallest details. She recalled that in moments of success, gratitude was always extended to every employee, and in times of difficulty, everyone stood together. It is precisely this spirit of teamwork that she instilled and leaves to us as her legacy.
I have always lived by the principle – do not put yourself above others, you must reckon with any of the employees, regardless of position and profession..
The strength is in the team, not in the person.
Vilnis Krievkalns
Mechanical engineer, at the brewery since 1979.
Vilnis has been working at the brewery since 1979 and has been a chief engineer for 30 years. Having received his education, Vilnis worked for some time in Riga, but really wanted to live in the Latvian countryside. Returning to his homeland was natural. When asked why this particular brewery and what underlies such long-term love, Vilnis replies:
“From an early age, I worked here in the summer because my mother was an accountant for the company. Even then, I saw the pride of the workers for TĒRVETE beer, for the quality they could provide. If the shelf life of other beers in those ancient times was 7 days, then Tervete – 9 days. Pride has accompanied me all these years, and my goal at work has always been to maintain high level of quality. And this is not only my goal; people here always cared about the TĒRVETE brand, were a little fanatical and lived with the goal of constant improvement. Even now, as a new generation enters the workforce, we are trying to pass on these important values to them.”
According to Vilnis, the formula for success is quite simple – one in the field is not a warrior, a team is always needed.
Do what you like from the bottom of your heart, and then everything will definitely work out!
