Description
Takatalo & Tompuri Brewery is located in the heart of the picturesque Finnish countryside in Virolahti—just 165 kilometers from Helsinki. We combine ancient farming techniques with the most modern brewery technologies in a unique way.

We grow malting barley and oat on our own fields, source the water from own well, and smoke the malt in our brewery to ensure the high quality of each bottle of our award-winning beers. Our beer is truly sustainable and locally produced. We grow beer!

The name of our beer, Kaski, derives from the traditional Finnish agricultural method of creating fields for crops and fertile soil by slashing and burning plots of forestland. With respect to our forefathers’ and foremothers’ hard work, we proudly call our beer Kaski.

The beer poured light amber in color, not much head.
Light smoke in the back. Banana and juniper, some rye notes later. Served very cold.

Rate 3.7 drinking it now preparing the pizza for my daughter before to go to the Colombian party at Lausanne. It is a classical brown ale, a bit sour, malty, nutty, a bit roasty, on the wah of a stout, bitter, light coffee note, yeasty, average.

(Poured from a tinfoil bag at Pikkulintu Myyrmäki, 20260629) The beer poured dark brown and lightly hazy. Its head was medium sized, white and it lasted long. Aroma had smoke, tar, juniper and spiciness. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were spiciness, smoke, grilled sausage, juniper and light bitterness. Aftertaste had grilled sausage and light bitterness. The smoke hid the normal sahti features too well. Clean.
