CHOOSING TRADITIONS
Sahti is a traditional Finnish surface yeast-type beer, which is mainly made with barley and rye malts. Sahti is used with fresh yeast and seasoned with juniper and possibly hops. The sahti we make is mostly red-brown, sweet and strong. However, the color varies from orange-yellow to light brown, with an average alcohol content of 8-10 % volume percent. In the mouth, the sahti feels thick, full and appetizing, sometimes even as thick as a milkshake. Different malts bring e.g. taste of cereal, bread, toffee, honey and caramel. Sahti is at its best soon after it is made, but its shelf life in good conditions between 0 and 4 degrees is at best for several months. We prepare sahti during festive times, such as Christmas and Midsummer, for beer festivals and, of course, always as needed. So ask us about the day's availability.
