Põhjala Brewery

Founded in late 2011 by four homebrewing friends soon joined by Scottish brewer Chris Pilkington, Põhjala has grown into the largest craft brewery in the Baltic states and the only one from the region to enter RateBeer's world top 100. Its first beer, the imperial Baltic porter Öö, set the tone: deep dark porters, patient barrel ageing and ingredients foraged from Estonian forests. Since 2018 the brewery has occupied a converted submarine factory in the Noblessner shipyard on Tallinn's waterfront, with a glass-walled brewhouse, a 24-tap Tap Room serving Texas-style barbecue, a shop, daily tours and even a sauna. An unmissable stop on any beer trip to Tallinn.
