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 Ravintola Fat Lizard, Otaniemi, 20241122) The beer poured amber and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had honey, grass and metal. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, honey, metal, biscuits and bitterness. Aftertaste had metal, malts and bitterness. A quite nice malty brew with some unpleasant notes of metal.

Roasty, grassy and herbal hoppy with some pine, resin, licorice, ashy burnt malts and hints of earthiness. Slightly unbalanced but still pretty good.
