BEERS FROM OUR OWN BREWERY ARE A TRUE ECO-ACT
At the heart of Brewery Restaurant Plevna, right behind the bar counter, operates Koskipanimo. The brewery produces around 200,000 liters of beer, cider, and mead combined each year. Of all the beers and ciders enjoyed in the restaurant, 99% are brewed on-site and transferred straight into 1,000-liter containers or 30-liter kegs – avoiding packaging and transport, reducing waste, and ensuring every drink is served fresh. All our products are handcrafted from high-quality ingredients, preferring ingredients from Finland whenever possible. Our brewery staff will ensure the taps are clean, monitor quality carefully, and gather feedback directly from customers and staff. Our selection includes about 18 permanent products and 4–6 seasonal specialties available throughout the year. This year, as a Christmas gift, our brewers made the largest investment in the brewery’s history – a canning machine! The reason for the change is simple: a can is a more ecological option compared to a glass bottle. In the future, every sip will also be a small eco-act.
BEER SHOP
You can buy Koskipanimo’s beer bottles and other merchandise from our beer shop. It opens at the same time as the restaurant and closes at 9 PM. You can also buy your drinks from our online shop at: www.plevna.fi/kauppa

WHAT IS PLEVNA?
Why does a restaurant established in Tampere in 1994 have the name of a small Bulgarian village?
The answer lies in the history of the Finlayson cotton mill. Weaving halls used to be named after historical events of that period. The Finlayson weaving hall was built in March 1877 – a month after a war broke out between Russia and Turkey that lasted almost a year.
As Finland was under Russian rule at the time, the war was closely followed through the press in Tampere. The Turkish army was strongly defending its grounds in the village of Plevna, and the Russians couldn’t conquer it. In order to resolve the situation, a Finnish guard of volunteers was formed which included workers from Finlayson.
First the Finnish guard conquered the well-barricaded village of Gornyi Dubnjak. Next, the Finnish guard helped the Russians with their siege and ultimately, the village surrendered at the beginning of December. The victory was also celebrated in Tampere and the new weaving hall of Finlayson was named Plevna.
Back in the days when the siege of Plevna was still on-going, a restaurant was opened in Tampere carrying the name Plevna

PLEVNA'S VERANDA HEATED BY WASTE HEAT FROM THE BREWERY
Our glass veranda is heated by the waste heat produced by the brewery’s refrigeration units, making it an eco-friendly choice. This innovative solution takes advantage of the excess heat generated during the brewing process, preventing energy waste. Additionally, Plevna’s beers are brewed and cooled using green electricity, making the brewing process even more sustainable. Eco-friendly, isn’t it?
