Quick Pitch
Pühaste Pruulikoda OÜ (registered trademark Pühaste) is an independent enterprise started in 2014 based on Estonian capital. Its main activity is beer production.
In 2016 we opened a plant in Tartu, and now the beer brewed there under Pühaste trademark is sold in 23 countries. Our biggest markets beside Estonia are Netherlands, Belgium, UK, France, Spain, Finland and Russia.
Our maximum brewing capacity is 350,000 L/annually. In August 2019, Estonian biggest business newspaper Äripäev ranked Pühaste the best drink producer in the country (see Äripäev 21.08.19).
With the help of crowdfunding we want to increase our export market by purchasing an automatic canning line, to make our production more efficient and maximize our volume by obtaining a beer separator, and conquer a new market segment by getting the necessary equipment for making alcohol-free beers.
Problem & Solution
The world of craft beers marches steadily on towards canning. Canned beer has smaller ecological footprint because the greater part of aluminum gets recycled, and the can guarantees a better oxygen barrier and protection from UV. The two latter factors are important in order to guarantee the quality and longer shelf life of beer. In order to increase our export market segment, we want to purchase an automatic canning line. Our resellers demand increasingly more canned products and therefore a canning line is a sure selling argument on growing number of markets, as well as an effective tool in entering new markets. In addition, canned beers decrease transport costs. Compared to bottled beer, the same pallet will hold more cans and weigh less. Aluminum recycling is mayor keyword.
One of the main pillars of beer business is the effectiveness of production. In order to make our production more effective, we want to buy a beer separator, which will enable us to shorten the process from brewing to packaging and increase the production volume while maintaining the same brewing capacity.
Consumption of low alcohol and alcohol-free beers is on the rise globally. Based on the white paper published in Global Market Insight (GMI ID: GMI2776, Vitika Verma, Amit Rawat, July 2018: https://www.gminsights.com/industry-analysis/non-alcoholic-wine-and-beer...) the alcohol-free beers segment will grow 7% yearly in the period of 2019-2025.
Product/Service Details
Brewing of Pühaste started in 2011, when our current head brewer Eero Mander started to tinker with beers in his summer cottage in Pühaste, Valgamaa County, Estonia.
In 2014 we started official production, first as contract brewers using other breweries’ equipment. In 2016 we opened our own brewery in Tartu, Estonia. Since the opening of the plant, our production volume has gone up 3.5 times. The former yearly production of 100,000 L has grown into 350,000 L a year.
Since 2014, we have marketed more than 100 different products under the trade mark of Pühaste.
We sell our products in 23 countries. On average, we export 60% of our beers.
We have brewed in cooperation with revolutionary breweries from different countries, such as Lervig (Norway), AF Brew and Zagovor (Russia), De Molen (Netherlands), Amager (Denmark), Pipeworks (US), Vibrant Forest (UK), White Frontier (Switzerland), Cool Head (Finland), Tempel (Sweden), Edge (Spain), Põhjala (Estonia), etc.
Highly valued barrel-aged Silver Series beers have an important place in out portfolio, rich in taste to extreme levels due to long aging in oak barrels used for strong spirits such as rum, bourbon, whiskey, cognac, or port.
Business model
The battle for the alcohol-free beer market is ongoing and after purchasing the necessary equipment, because of our current reselling network and due to the outstanding margins of this specific market, we will have a good starting point in new markets, including the Arabian Peninsula.
Market
We consider the development of export networks to be of great importance and keep expanding it for greater profits. By 2021 we plan to export 80% of our gross output. We will focus on new markets, such as Japan, Korea, China and the US.
We forecast a growth of 30% in foreign markets due to a canning line.

How We’re Different
Pühaste õllede peamised trumbid on viimase piirini lihvitud erakordsed maitsed ja kompromissitu kvaliteet. Pakume tootjale just seda õlut, mida me ise hea meelega tarbiks ning naudiks. Kasutame oma õlledes lisaks heale linnasebaasile tipptaseme aroomhumalaid, laborikvaliteediga pärmi (White Labs) ning kõrgeima klassi koostisosi. Olgu selleks siis Peruu kakaonibsid või premium klassi Madagaskari vanillikaunad. Üks on kindel – kui maitsed on paigas, siis koostisosi väikese kasumi nimel välja ei vahetata. Kvaliteet ja maitsed peavad jääma!
Kuigi käsitööõlletootjaid on maailmas äärmiselt palju, siis tänaseks oleme loonud Euroopas IPAde ja tugevate tumede õlle najal võimsa fännibaasi, kes naljalt marki ei vaheta. Uute tootepartiide turuletulekut võetakse tervituste ja hõigetega vastu ning nõutakse kohalikelt edasimüüjatelt kindlaid marke. Meie müügi- ja turundusinimesed tegelevad igapäevaselt kliendisuhete hoidmisega. Võib kindel olla, et vanad kliendid jäävadmüügivõrk ja müügivõrk vaid laieneb.
Separaator-tsentrifuug võimaldab korrigeerida toote hinda, et konkurentidele rohkem kandadele astuda ning turuosa endale võita.
Ekspordime täna 60% tootest ning kasvatame eksport-turuosa 2021. aastaks 80% peale. Samalaadseid numbreid suudavad Euroopas ette näidata vähesed väikepruulikojad.
Pühaste õlleetikettide kujunduse taga seisab lisaks pruulikoja loovjõule illustraator Marge Nelk, kelle loodud müstilised etiketid on pälvivad konkurentide pakendite kõrval pilku. Igale tootele luuakse oma ainulaadne etikett.

Risks and Mitigation
Suurimaks riskiks turul on tarbijaeelistuste muutumine. Selle mitigeerime läbi väga laia tootespektri, mida Pühaste pakub. Me ei ole keskendunud üksikule enimmüüdud tootele, teisisõnu meil ei ole kindlat müügihitti, vaid käive jaotub erinevate õllestiilide vahel ühtlaselt.
Riskina võib kvalitfitseerida alkoholivabade toodete turuletulekuks kuluva ajaperioodi. Nimelt prototüüpimine, katsepruulid ning laborianalüüsid võivad protsessi algperioodil võtta soovitust kauem aega. Pühaste soetas autonoomse eraldiseisva katsepruulikoja, millega on võimalik prototüüpida mitmeid retsepte samaaegselt ning kiirendada tootearendust kordades.
Valitsuse ebastabiilne alkoholipoliitika ning mängud alkoholiaktsiiside ümber on potentsiaalne takistus kõikidele väikepruulijatele. Võimaliku riski maandamiseks soetame tsentrifuug-separaatori, mis võimaldab tagab efektiivsema tootmise ning võimaldab toote 20% lühema tootmisajaga turule lasta ning keskendume rohkem välisturgudele.
