• veal with tuna sauce – veal in tuna sauce. Hearty, fresh and crunchy. A classic dish that can also be enjoyed perfectly in the autumn months together with a classic beer taste; 
• spicy nduja – pizza baked in a real wood-fired oven. The taste is very substantial, rich and spicy. An equally substantial and rich drink goes well here;  
• as the closing duet, Valters brings a sweet dish to the table, offering to enjoy it together with Valmiermuiža rye malt kvass - tiramisu with Valrhon cocoa and Tahitian vanilla. A great interplay of flavors when enjoyed together with the full-bodied Valmiermuiža kvass. 

We bring you the wonderful three-hour gourmet journey through pictures. One summer evening in the very heart of Riga - in the restaurant "Barents", the creative chef of the restaurant Dzintars Kristovskis and the owner of Valmiermuiža beer, certified alzinier Aigars Rungis, welcomed their guests to give the most demanding beer lovers a taste adventure - pairing beer and food.  

Gourmets enjoyed eight different flavors of beer brewed in Valmiermuiža with a special dish matched to each brew, accompanied by Aigars and Dzintars' stories. 

A restaurant with a charming view of Baltezer, which allows you to enjoy unique sunsets in all seasons. The restaurant's terrace has a special charm in summer, where everyone can go on a taste journey, combining traditional flavors with new, creative dishes and Valmiermuiža beer brews.  

In this story of the compatibility of beer and food, chef Antona Konstantinova's specially selected dishes for Valmiermuiža light beer are on the table:  

• lightly smoked ribs, served with broccolini, celery - "Umami" puree and "Balsamico" - fried carrot in honey glaze;  
• Premium Black Angus beef burger.  

Antons Konstantinov: "Lightly smoked ribs by themselves have an intense taste, therefore, when matching the drink, it should be taken into account that the flavors do not mix too much. The ribs together with Valmiermuiža beer allow the connoisseur to experience the real aftertaste. On the other hand, the "Premium Black Angus" beef burger is a real mix of flavors that matches any Valmiermuiža beer brew, creating an excellent combination of flavors."

An excellent place on the Riga riviera, in Andrejost, where coziness and the atmosphere of an urban restaurant combine at the same time. Here you can enjoy the most beautiful Riga sunsets and sunrises, the first fresh and highest quality food together with Valmiermuiža beer brews. 

The team of "Naples" chefs has created a real feast for the taste buds, finding dishes compatible with Valmiermuiža light beer:  

• trio tartare - salmon, tuna, avocado;
• beef tartare made from fresh, premium beef with the chef's special sauce;
• corn chicken in a special marinade, grilled on coals; 
• pica peppers.  

The team of chefs: "The fatness of the salmon and the soft, salty tuna form an ideal combination of flavors that goes very well with the bitterness of Valmiermuiža light beer. On the other hand, the sharpness of the pepperoni and the saltiness of the cheese create a good aftertaste for the pizza, if you choose to enjoy it together with Valmiermuiža pale beer. Beef tartar and chicken do not require comments, pure flavors, which are perfectly matched by Valmiermuiža light beer." 

A very special place on the Kurzeme side, where the largest and oldest manor complex in Latvia, the former vassal castle of the Livonian Order - Nurmuiža Castle stands majestically in all its glory.
