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!

(Keg at Põhja Konn, 20260217) The beer poured oily and black. Its head was small and lightly brown. Aroma had burnt malts, coffee, dark chocolate and lightly vinous notes. Palate was full bodied and warming with medium carbonation. Flavours were burnt malts, coffee, sweetness, chocolate, ash and bitterness. Aftertaste had coffees, sweetness and bitterness. A tasty burnt brew hiding its ABV with extra sugar.

Tap at Pastryccioni Festival, in Rimini, Italy. Pours dark brown, partially black, with very fine brown foam. Aroma is a weird mix of intense berries, a little artificial, and malty/nutty. Body is rather thick, sticky, with moderate carbonation. Taste is fairly sweet, with the berries flavour dominating. Only some roastiness behind. Final is still fairly dominated by berries.

On tap at Yeccan, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of brandy barrels, booze, dark sugars, and dark dried fruits. Flavour is extremely complex, with dark dried fruits, brandy barrels galore, booze, and some toasted malt. Assertive barrels, great malt base, blended beautifully. Excellent.

On tap at Yeccan. Pours an opaque very dark brown with a beige head. Dark sugars, molasses, and apricot brandy on the nose. Flavour is rich with loads of dark sugars, molasses, tart dried fruit, and an excellent brandy character. This is excellent, great integration of the base with the barrels.
