+## Our history
+
+It's a stone soup.
+
+We had freedom, skills and knowledge to choose to do anything. We've made a choice, but what does it matter in the end?
+
+This started as beer analysis laboratory. The idea was to empower microbrewers to have as good laboratory tools as big breveries have. Noble goal in pursuit of joy good beer brings to people. The year was 2019, the world was about to learn the word "pandemic".
+
+We don't like giving empty promises, we like doing good, complex things bordering with impossible. So to fund the laboratory at the beginning we've started doing what was profitable - software development, consulting, and other unrelated stuff. We've gathered a team of great engineers and scientists around to do more unrelated stuff, asked overqualified specialists to join us.
+
+And we keep going.
+
 ## Our mission
 
-Finland is famous for great engineers and tough alcohol regulations. Microbrewers saved the world from mediocre beer, and Finland is a great place for microbrewers - but how many could afford a lab? The answer is - as many as possible!
+Science is dead. Long live science!
 
-Proper analytical laboratory involves expensive start-up costs, maintenance costs - and at least one skilled person to run it. In the end, no matter how many samples are run, some costs remain the same. And this is where community power comes in.
+We are private academic institution that funds itself through free market.
 
-Alzymologist Oy is a dedicated laboratory for microbrewers. The services we offer are based on industrial brewing technology analytical methods, but we tune them for microbrewers needs and develop new tools - this is why we are called "Alzymologist". Microbrewers make better beer and should have better analytical tools at their disposal. And zymological knowledge should belong to people - yes, we share what we can.
+Some of us left government-funded academic institutions to stop nonsense of pleasing unaccountable Big Brother grant committees.
 
-Did we just say beer? All other zymology users are welcome - cider, mead, wine, etc.
+Some of us left conventional industry to finally start working on something that is not yet obsolete.
 
-## Our values
+Some of us left financial institutions to make economy efficient instead of robbing it.
 
-We value good beer. Of course, _consistent_ beer is something from the world of mass production, but what is really important - _consistently good_ beer - belongs to microbrewers.
+We do difficult stuff. Technological problems considered impossible, unmanageable entanglements of technical issues, tasks requiring broad vision.
 
-We value straightforwardness and openness. We tell you what we do and why, who we are and what we know.
+With many troubles surrounding modern scientific and technological world, old institutions crumbling to pieces, conflicts all around, all we can do is try to survive through diversity. If the world around falls and we still stand, we'll move on with our piece of culture - science and technology. You would do the same, right?
 
-We value community power. Working together - many microbrewers outsourcing analysis to our lab - makes our project possible. Everyone will have all the tools and expertise. And we share back - all scientific knowledge we produce ourselves we will freely share with people. Even this website is powered by [FOSS](https://www.getzola.org/).
+We are doing experimental stuff. We are The Experiment. Maybe we succeed, maybe we don't - but we'll just do our thing. Do It Ourselves.
 
-At the same time, we value intellectual property. Your data is your data, we will keep it secure. All clients data is stored and processed separately - unless you ask us otherwise. Even our email is encrypted. [Read our data protection statement](@/info/GDPR.md)
+And if we fail, we will start again.
 
+## Our values
+
+We value good beer. We value good products and good ideas. Things are meant to last, do their job, and bring joy.
+
+We value ethics, honesty, humanitarian values.
 
-We value personality. Microbrewing is based on small scale, on individuals rather than corporations. We strive to keep this spirit - so [contact us!](@/info/contacts.md)
+We value wisdom. Curiosity. Experiments and models. Preservation of knowledge.
 
-Do you share our values? Let's make great beers together!
+We value minimalism.
+
+We value fun and joy.
+
+We believe in building community power through individual development of every person. For no man is a island.
 
 ## Our goals
 
-* Give microbrewers complete and affordable analytical capabilities
-* Improve zymology and other sciences
-* Make finnish beer famous for its unmatched quality
-* Influence regulators, standartization organs and convents
+* Grow knowledge
+* Create things that did not exist before
+* Make friends and have fun
+* Restore science to its former glory
+* Beer, mead, wine
 
 ## About us
 
-Alzymologist Oy is a family-founded company that has grown over time to accommodate new members. We are a team of chemists, physicists, and computer scientists, and we work together for over 10 years. For years we've been making our own homebrewing "experiments", studying zymology as a hobby, that was well complimented by our professional skills and expertise. We've decided to start analytical company when we realized that nobody really cares to offer quality analytical services to those who need it most. We source our inspiration from White Labs success and we aim to improve craft alcohol world as they did.
