THE HISTORY OF SOR I Us, Pyry Hurula and Heikki Uotila, started planning Sori while running an university beer society. We were two ambitious, angry young men wanting to establish a brewery without compromises. But, we were still living in a Nordic country with twisted post-prohibition alcohol laws. Staying in Finland as brewers would’ve been like being painters painting with only black and white colors. So, long story short, we raised nearly a million euros through crowdfunding and started the brewery in Estonia. We do things the unconventional way. We left our home country when its strict Nordic alcohol policies didn’t fit our plans to brew big, flavorful beers. We were young and loud. We started relatively ambitious, with a 15 hl brewhouse and 150 hl fermentation capacity. Almost 400 investors backed us and became an essential part of our story. One outcome was that we created an impact on Finnish policies and finally there’s a lot of deregulation happening
LOCATIONS The location is a massive old Soviet military factory. It’s not only crude and industrial, but also home to a deep well providing clean groundwater. Steel beams, cranes, tiles with missiles. This is not like any brewery you’ve been to. For contrast, it’s located next to the fastest developing neighborhood in Tallinn, close to the airport and several harbors. Transportation from the brewery to customers around Europe is fast and cost efficient. We also started Sori Taproom & Eatery in the heart of Helsinki, Finland.
ABOUT SORI We are an Estonian brewery started by two Finns after an impressive crowdfunding campaign in 2015. Sori Brewing was born international to brew beers without compromises. For that reason, we have one of the biggest barrel aging programs in Northern Europe. Sori beers range from massive IPAs to refreshingly fruity sours. However, we are notorious for our Imperial Stouts and strong Baltic Porters, as well as our barrel aged specialities. Our motto is to brew Serious Beer for Not So Serious People. Sori beers are sold already in twelve markets, the biggest markets being in Scandinavia, Estonia, France, Russia and the Netherlands. We work both with big nationwide importers and distributors, as well as smaller specialized importers around Europe. We are growing fast. In 2016 we brewed 2000 hl of beer. It was our first full year in operation. Currently we have a 15 hl brewhouse and fermentation capacity of 450 hl. Our skilled and educated international team ensures we push boundaries every day, and make sure the product is always high quality. You can visit the brewery Tasting Room in Tallinn, Estonia and the Sori Taproom & Eatery in the center of Helsinki, Finland.
