To celebrate NATO, a small Finnish brewery made special beer that was a few kilometers from Russia. The name of the beer was Otan Olutta. This name means, “I’ll have some beer”. Otan is also the French word for NATO. Finland and Sweden had decided to join NATO as they were afraid of Russia. The boss of the brewery says that they started producing the beer due to “worries over the war in Ukraine” and beer tasted of freedom and safety. The beer can is blue and white in color. They are the colors of NATO.
