About this brewery
Viljandi is the cultural capital of southern Estonia: its Teutonic castle ruins overlook a romantic lake and its folk music festival draws tens of thousands of visitors every summer. Viljandi Vaadimees — literally 'the barrel man' — gives this creative town its own craft beer, brewed in small batches on Raua street. Thirst-quenching lagers, hoppy ales and seasonal brews make up a simple, well-made range built for long festival evenings and the terraces of the wooden old town. A natural stop between the castle hill, Lake Viljandi and the folk scene that keeps the region's heart beating.
