Beer mug. Latvia’s long and rich beer culture most probably started by accident. Given enough time, the honeyed water that used to be the common drink of the region starts to ferment and become alcoholic. The resulting tipple took on a magical, spiritual meaning and it is believed that Letts were drinking this honey beer from around 1200 until the 16th century when they started to brew beer from cereals.
