BEER
Most people will usually want to try an Estonian beer, and while there are lots on offer, two
main breweries dominate the market. Saku, Estonia's biggest brewer, was established as the
brewery of Saku Manor. You will easily find Saku Originaal (make sure to double the vowel
sound when ordering!) on tap in pubs and bars. Saku Kuld (Gold) is pitched as a premium
beer, and well worth a try. However both of these are fairly standard lager style beers. For real
beer connoisseurs, we here at EstAdventures recommend Saku Tume (Dark) or if you can
locate is Saku Abbey. You may wish to visit the Saku Brewery on an EstAdventures tour.
Traditionally Saku has dominated in Northern estonia, whereas A. Le Coq has been the choice
of southern Estonians. Although it sounds French it is actually from the town of Tartu, and if
you come to Tallinn to see a game of football you will probably do so at A. Le Coq Arena.
The most common brand is A. Le Coq Premium, but we prefer one called Alexander. In
