PERNAUER

Pärnu, Estonia's 'summer capital', lines up golden beaches, seaside villas and lively terraces along the Baltic. PERNAUER — after the town's historic German name, Pernau — brews the local beer this resort was waiting for: a microbrewery on Rehepapi street producing small runs of honest, thirst-quenching craft beers, built for long beach days and evenings in the resort quarter. The Hanseatic nod in the name recalls seven centuries of port history, still visible in the baroque façades of the old town. The natural brewing address for any summer stay on the Gulf of Riga coast — and Pärnumaa's standard-bearer on the craft map.
