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 at Goblet, with the Zagreb homebrewers' association, thx guys! Very dark brown, no head. Caramel, treacle and raisins in the heavy malty aroma. Dry, caramelly taste, raisins, vanilla, some rye, light oxidation but mainly alcohol... rougher than the Roggenwolf and a bit overshadowed by it!

Bottle at Goblet, with the Zagreb homebrewers' association, thx guys! Pitch black body, tiny off-white head.Creamy aroma, rye, raisins, bit herbal, treacle. Medium body, heading towards a lean, dry finish... for the strength at least. Raisins, prunes, rye malt, herbal touches, hugely drinkable for the ABV! Lovely!
