Who are Põhjala?

Põhjala was founded in Tallinn at the end of 2011 by four Estonian friends who shared an interest in food, beer and homebrewing. Its first batches were brewed in rented facilities; it opened a brewery in Nõmme in 2014 and moved to its own brewery in Noblessner, in north Tallinn, in 2018. Martin Vahtra, who joined in 2018, became head brewer in 2023. It exports to more than 30 countries, and is privately owned by companies belonging to its founders and partners.

Põhjala’s alcohol-free beers

Põhjala lists five alcohol-free beers, all 0.5%. Laager 0 is a crisp, hoppy lager, and the two Treeninglaagers, plain and Tsitrus, with lemon, are brewed with the same hops and malts. Prenzlauer 0 is a creamy raspberry sour, the alcohol-free sibling of its Prenzlauer Berg, and Virmalised 0, an IPA with spruce tips, isn’t sold in the UK as far as we found. All four in our directory are brewed with lactose, so none is vegan.

How strong are Põhjala’s alcohol-free beers?

0.5%, Põhjala says. UK government guidance, which is voluntary, keeps the term alcohol-free for 0.05% ABV or below, though many beers up to 0.5% are sold in the UK as alcohol-free. More in our 0.0% vs 0.5% guide.

Which Põhjala alcohol-free beers can I buy in the UK?

On 29 October 2026 The Alcohol Free Co had Laager 0, as single cans, and Prenzlauer 0. The two Treeninglaager beers were sold out at Dry Drinker and The Alcohol Free Co. Põhjala’s own shop delivers beer only in Estonia.

Are Põhjala’s alcohol-free beers vegan?

No: the four in our directory are all brewed with lactose, from milk. They aren’t gluten-free either.

Is Laager 0 the same as Treeninglaager?

No. Põhjala lists them as separate beers. They’re brewed with the same hops and malts, but Laager 0 is a plain lager, and its strength and gravity differ slightly.
