I captured a photo on the spiral staircase of Põhjala Brewery & Tap Room restaurant towards the sky. Little info: Põhjala Brewery (Estonian: Põhjala pruulikoda) is a craft brewery in Tallinn, Estonia. Its name is Estonian for "northern realm". It is the largest craft brewery in the Baltic states and the only one to be included in the Ratebeer "top 100" list of world breweries. In 2019 the company had a turnover of 4.69 million euros. Põhjala has a particular focus on porters, barrel ageing, and ingredients from the forests of Estonia.
The brewery was founded in 2011 by four Estonian beer enthusiasts, who were soon joined by head brewer Chris Pilkington, formerly of Scottish craft brewery Brewdog. The first Põhjala beer, Öö Imperial Baltic Porter, was contract-brewed before the company's original brewery opened in Tallinn's Nõmme district in April 2014.
In 2015 the company opened its first bar "Speakeasy" near Tallinn's main railway station.
In 2018 nearly 4.9 million euros were invested in moving production to a new brewery in the Noblessner area of Tallinn. The average capacity of the brewery is 1,200 hectolitres per month, and 6,000 bottles an hour can be filled on a new bottling line. The facility also houses a laboratory, shop, sauna and taproom with 24 taps.
In 2019 Põhjala opened a pop-up bar in the Chinese capital, Beijing.
In 2021 the brewery sponsored the Põhjala disc golf marathon, with 300 competitors in Jõulumäe, Estonia.
