Perinteisen Oluen Seura - Finnish Society for Traditional Beers ry was founded in 1990 to advance Finnish beer culture by encouraging the supply of different kinds of beers (including those brewed in Finland) to pubs, restaurants and retail shops. The goal of the Society is to increase the availability of traditional beers with a characteristic flavour in comparison to the international brands.

We have published a paper on sahti in our English-language series Cervisia Fennica, and Good Pub Guide to Finland.

Perinteisen Oluen Seura - Finnish Society for Traditional Beers ry is a founding member of the Finnish Beer Union. Finnish Beer Union has been a member of EBCU, the European Beer Consumers Union, since 1993.
