Saimaa Brewing Company is a nimble and constantly developing microbrewery on the shores of Lake Saimaa, which creates some of the world’s most pristine taste experiences – honestly and boldly using solar energy.
Saimaa Brewing Company is one of Finland’s oldest still operating microbreweries. Our roots extend back to 1995 when changes in legislation allowed restaurant owners to brew beer in their own breweries, which inspired restaurateur Pertti Oksa to begin studying brewing at Mustiala Agricultural School.
Beer brewing began in Mikkeli, and within no time the size of 200-litre equipment increased multifold when Oksa bought the Lappeenranta-based Saimaa Brewery, which was later renamed Saimaa Juomatehdas (Saimaa Beverage Factory).
Today this traditional-modern, bold and very Finnish brewery is known as the Saimaa Brewing Company. You will find us on the shores of our dear Lake Saimaa – where else?
