Lapin Kulta
Lapin Kulta was a Finnish brewery. It was founded in the town of Tornio in 1873 under the name Torneå Bryggeri Aktiebolag and changed its name to Tornion Olut Oy in 1953 . In 1963, Tornion Olut Oy merged with the Lapin Olut Oy group to form Lapin Kulta Oy and began selling its beer under the same name. Lapin Kulta means "the gold of Lapland".
Lapin Kulta has been part of the Hartwall Group since 1980 and was the second largest brewery in Finland. The Lapin Kulta brand was the most popular beer brand in Finland for a long time, but was overtaken by competitors Karhu and Olvi in the 21st century. In 2001, 123 million liters of Lapin Kulta beer were sold in Finland alone . In autumn 2010 the brewery was closed and production was relocated to other Hartwall breweries.
