Laitilan Wirvoitusjuomatehdas is a Finnish brewery and a soft drinks company based in Laitila. It was founded in 1995 and now the company owns several brands, such as: Kukko beers, ciders, beers and lemonades. The company also produces, for example, the Euro Shopper ciders sold in Finland and the beer, which is named after a famous Finnish rock group. Since 2001, all of the products of Laitilan Wirvoitusjuomatehdas are manufactured using wind power.[1] Furthermore, some of the products, for example the Kukko beers (except for the porter and wheat beer), are also gluten free and as such suitable for Coeliac disease sufferers.[2]

The company was previously known as Fisutta Oy and it was renamed in November 2006 as Laitilan Wirvoitusjuomatehdas Oy.[3]

The company uses the archaic spelling "wirvoitus" instead of the contemporary spelling "virvoitus" (Finnish for "refreshment") on purpose to evoke an old-fashioned feel.[4]
