With double-digit sales gains and an expanding consumer base, craft beers are popping up everywhere. Supermarkets, big-box chains and convenience stores are giving more shelf space and attention to the category. But how much more space can craft beer get?

Finland has been a beer country since ancient times. Kalevala, the Finnish national epic, describes the origin of beer in overwhelmingly more lines and words than the origin of the universe. From the middle ages, Finland as part of Sweden has been renowned for brewing skills in the whole kingdom. The importance of beer lasted until the Prohibition, when it became an alcohol issue. Craft and home brewing was best preserved in the traditional strong and sweet festivity brew called Sahti, which was about to become extinct due to the strict alcohol policy and “bureaucrazy” in Finland. The attempts to save and preserve Sahti play a pivotal role in the rebirth of craft brewing in Finland.
