Producer's description
Mallaskosken Brewery (or Mallaskoski) was founded in 1921 by Johann Wlenius, who embodied his passion for brewing. The farmland and the harsh northern climate inspired him to create original recipes for beer. The first beer Wallenius brewed in the corner of the old laundry. In 1928, Wallenus decided to buy a plot near the sandy beach and build a plant in Mallaskoski. The plant began to produce lemonade and other soft drinks, as well as beer, which by that time had become famous not only in Finland, but also abroad. Then, at the time of Prohibition, the brewery was closed, and in 1999 enthusiasts revived production again. Today, respecting the traditions, Malaskosken beer is made by hand, without preservatives, using the same yeast and with the same incredible attitude to life.
