The film is set in the small hometown of director Teemu Nikki, Sysmä. Despite the fact that he had left decades earlier, he still told "wild stories" about the town. His family consisted of Sahti beer brewers.
Originally, Nikki had male lead characters in mind, but a play by Elina Knihtilä and Pirjo Lonka changed this. According to Nikki, they demand respect and are tough, but at the same time have a dark side. The director usually wrote roles with specific actors in mind, but managed to get the ladies on board before production began. It took about a year and a half to write the script.
For the Italian premiere, the filmmakers shipped twenty liters of unfermented Sahti beer to Rome, where they subsequently brewed it at the Finnish embassy to serve it and "present it to the whole world." Producer Jani Pösö arrived late for the press conference because he was buying a suitcase for the Sahti. "100 Litraa Sahtia" was Finland's official entry in the 'Best International Feature Film' category at the 98th Academy Awards in 2026.
A mediocre film.
