It is used to indicate possession or association with beers, roughly translating to “of beers” or “the beers.” The form appears in phrases such as oluiden laatu (the quality of beers), oluiden valmistus (the brewing of beers), and oluiden maku (the taste of beers).

In Finnish grammar, olut has a nominative plural oluet and a genitive plural oluiden.
