In 2009 the Lapland brewery was closed and since then Lapin Kulta has been brewed in the southern Finnish town of Lahti.

The company's articles of association still state the line of business to be "prospecting for gold and the manufacture and sales of beer".

Lapin Kulta's focus is on high-quality ingredients (malt barley, clear water, and the company's own yeast strain).

This, coupled with successful marketing, made it the most popular beer brand in Finland for a long period.
