Janis Rudzitis – Indie Janis, a proprietor in Upespils, Suntazi, brews beer and creates culture and environment in a wider radius than just around him
I am in Vidzeme because there was a place here, a property close to Riga. That’s the honest answer. I am a patriot of Latvia, not of the regions.
I do everything with my available resources. Sometimes I have more of them, sometimes less. I will do what I can – as honestly and well as possible. With my offer, I create something UNIQUE for Latvia, if I simply like original offers that make the environment of Latvia interesting. I am “Indie Janis”. That’s why, when travelling or relaxing in Latvia myself, I look for slightly unusual and interesting places and products created by business proprietors.
I like that people visiting me become unfettered and leave with a real, experienced understanding of beer and beer making. With truths felt, not read or told, about beer and brewing and life. In Bruzis, I do all the work myself, so the idea and its result are my own. I am not that “big” at the moment to be responsible for another artist’s work.
My motto: simple service, good products.
