It was founded in 1819 in Helsinki, Grand Duchy of Finland by Russian merchant Nikolai Sinebrychoff (Russian: Николай Петрович Синебрюхов), and it is one of the largest breweries in Finland today. By the end of 1999 the ownership of the company was completely transferred to Carlsberg Breweries A/S.
