Description
Põhjala Brewery is the brainchild of three friends and beer aficionados who, like many a future craft brewer, got tired of the tasteless watery lagers that the faceless megacorporations have saturated the beer market with.
We brew small batches of hand crafted ales, using the best malts, loads of mostly New World hops and a relentless passion for good beer. When creating our beers, we are inspired by Nordic nature, Estonian new cuisine and the work of our fellow microbrewers in the U.S., UK and Scandinavia who, in our opinion, are leading the craft beer revolution.
In hops we trust!

Bottle. Pours amber. Rather random hoppy ale, this bottle felt slightly old.

Pours dark brown, has a bit of foam. Chocolaty aroma, sweet dark fruits. Taste is spicy and sweet, rye comes out quite nicely. Dried dark fruits, and hops giving a nice kick in the throat. Getting really nice when it warms, spices on the tongue. Warming and drinks really easy.
