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!

At home tonight, enjoying this perfect weather after a day of work. Interesting one, malty, crispy, a bit woody, smooth and dry, hint of tropical fruit, bitter, rather light body, bitter and refreshing, light touch of strawberry at the final.

330 ml bottle. Pours a dark brown with short tan head. Aromas of sugary red berries, a bit of chocolate, and soft toasted malts. Flavors bring on lots of jammy raspberries, though not overpowering chocolate and roasted malts. Very good.

From tap at Van Moll Fest 2026. Sweet with chocolate, roast, vanilla, touch of marshmallow, sugar. Rather sweet flavour, mild bitter, sugary finish. Well-done but a tad sweet for me.

A black beer, a head is medium and light brown. Aroma has raspberries, roastiness, some chocolate and liquorice. Taste has raspberries, chocolate, roastiness, raspberry jam. Medium+ bodied. Raspberries are strong and quite dominating, but it's nice and they are fitting nicely to the overall feelings.
