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, as Julenetter 2025. Roasted malts, coffee hints, burnt notes, hints of alcohol and some dark dried fruit. Spiced. Smoked too, but it took some time to notice. Quite nice actually. 747414 251128

Sweetish, chewy juicy tropical fruity with some citrus, pine, floral notes, grass and candy notes, hints of resin and bitterness. A bit unbalanced, quite sweet and chewy. Doesn't feel very fresh

Two bottles, as Pohjala Julenetter 2025, shared with friends in Bodø. Deep mahogany coloured body, beige head, and fair lacing. Attractive on the nose with earthy chocolate malts and caramel, lightly smoked. Dark malt-forward taste, moments of chocolate, wood, and caramel. Lingering finish, lightly smoked. Well bodied sipper. Best in our Yuletide beer test. (Svenskebyen, Bodø 28.11.2025).
