Fat Lizard Brewing Co.
Microbrewery
in Espoo,
Uusimaa,
Finland 🇫🇮
Associated with 2 Venues
Established in 2014
We’re located in Otaniemi, in the very heart of Espoo. As the first commercial brewery ever in Espoo, the company was founded by four fellows – Hessu, Topo, Topi and Eero – in 2014 and has been operative since February 2015. Today the brewery staff includes 15 irreplaceable characters altogether.
After many years of homebrewing and heavy testing, the recipes were just too good to keep for ourselves. It was time to build a brewhouse in Kivenlahti Rock Bay. Two years of constant sold-out storage left no beer for ourselves. So we moved on and expanded in Otaniemi with a decent sized brewing equipment going nationwide.
Now our beer portfolio contains various styles of craft beer, all made in our extraordinary way of brewing. Including internationally acclaimed gems. Drink more, drink better!

Kirkas tummankeltainen olut todella tiheän tiiviillä, valkoisella vaahdolla. Jättää myös pitsiä kivasti. Hieman eksoottista hedelmää, hunajaa ja kevyttä tunkkaisuutta sekä kevyesti katkeroa. Melko raskasta juotavaa, ja aika täyteläinen suutuntuma. Ei siis ole ihan tavoitettu IPA:n raikkautta.

Kirkas, kullankeltaista aavistuksen tummempi olut vaahtoaa kivan reilusti ja pysyvästi jättäen reilusti pitsiä. Tuoksu eksoottisen hedelmäinen, maku pehmeä, mutta samalla eksoottisen hedelmäinen ja katkeran greippinen. Laadukas kokonaisuus.

Ensimmäinen taistelu käytiin pulloa avatessa. Skumppapulloille tyypillinen luonnonkorkki ei tuntunut hievahtavankaan millään, mutta pitkän taistelun jälkeen se saatiin irtoamaan. Hieman utuinen, hailakan vaaleankeltainen olut kohtalaisen runsaalla, mutta todella höttöisellä ja nopeasti katoavalla vaahdolla. Tuoksu on happaman hedelmäinen (omenaa, päärynää), etikkainen ja hiivainen. Maun puolella hapan hedelmäisyys jatkuu, omenaa, sitruunaa, hiivaa ja viljaa havaittavissa. Hiilihappoja kohtalaisen runsaasti, raikas ja melko pitkälle kuohuviinimainen olut, jossa voi havaita myös vehnäoluen piirteitä. Kesään.

From backlog. Draught @ One Pint Pub, Helsinki. Pours dark orange with a smooth head. Aroma of fresh herbal hops, mild dankness, grass, pine, resin and caramely malts. Taste is smooth, herbal hoppy and resinous with some grass, pine and caramel. Finish is smooth, slightly sweetish, grassy and herbal with some hoppiness and resin. A bit untypical hop profile for a session IPA. Great aroma but the taste could use some more body and bitterness.
