When it comes to alcoholic beverages and beer, Finland is not a particularly uncomplicated place: For a long time, Prohibition completely banned the consumption of alcohol, and to this day, the effects of this period continue to make brewers' craft difficult. 4.7% alcohol content is the magic limit that everyone tries to stay below. Any fine drop above this limit may only be sold in restaurants and specially licensed beverage stores. More powerful styles such as porter, imperial stout, IPAs or bock beer can therefore be brewed, but not operated by the brewery itself. Many brewers are therefore below the permitted alcohol limit and are significantly restricted in their creativity. The brewers at the Sori Brewery did not want to accept this fate and took a bold step.
Finnish beer for the world
Pyry and Heikki's story began in the hallowed halls of the academic beer society BOSA. The two beer enthusiasts were part of the association and met regularly with like-minded people to exchange ideas and recipes, think about beer and of course drink together. Members of the society include hobby and homebrewers as well as beer fans who do not brew themselves. More than once, the beer-filled conversations revolved around the Finnish beer scene and the fact that the beer from their homeland had so far attracted little international attention. Over a beer together, Heikki and Pyry finally sealed their plan: they wanted to be the brewers who brought the word about wonderful Finnish beer to the world. However, they didn't want to be restricted by local restrictions, so they quickly moved to neighboring Estonia with all their luggage.
Polite but firm
In Estonia, the two had free rein when it came to alcohol content and the fun could begin. With the help of a crowdfunding campaign, the two friends raised enough money to set up their own brewery. Since then, the two have been brewing serious beer for not-so-serious people, true to their motto. By the way, the name of the brewery refers to the extremely polite and courteous nature of the Finns: In everyday life, the inhabitants of Finland apologize at every opportunity and you can hear friendly “Sori” coming from every direction - that is, if you revolutionize the Nordic beer scene with outstanding craft beers and if you want to challenge industrial breweries with craftsmanship and taste, you can say “Sori”. However, we are not at all sorry that Pyry and Heikki are shaking up the Estonian and Finnish beer world. With their experimental, handcrafted and delicately composed beers, they deserve every success.
