Finnish Craft Brewery Brings Gluten Free Craft to US

Finnish brewery Laitilan Wirvoitusjuomatehdas is bringing its gluten free Kukko Pils to the US market, via Whole Foods and state-specific distributors. Beginning in Texas, the Scandinavian craft brewer has expanded to Oklahoma, and is looking towards hiring US representatives to continue expansion, beginning in Florida and New York.

The export to the US marks an growing trend of cultural exchange spurred by craft beer, with American styles influencing European, and vice versa.
