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!

(Keg at Oljenkorsi, 20160210) The beer poured deep golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, black currant leaves and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, black currant leaves, sweetness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty, sweet and bitter. A nicely done heavy hoppy pale ale. Drinkability was good.

Draught @ Stone’s, Helsinki. Pours dark orange with a small head. Aroma of juicy fruits, hops, grass, caramely malts, toffee and hints of spices. Taste is spicy, hoppy and malty with some caramel, toffee, pine, resin and grass. Finish is smooth, fresh and malty with some caramel, berries, spices, grass and resin. The spiciness doesn’t quite fit in, but otherwise a decent DIPA. --- Beer merged from original tick of Sweet Mary 390 Double IPA on 06 Feb 2016 at 21:10 - Score: 7

Tap at CCC, Turku. Clear golden color, good white head. Riped fruits and citrus in the nose. Medium-bodied. Citrus, gooseberries and some bubblegum in the flavor. Dryish but somewhat fruity. Decent. Something I could try another pint.
