About
The brewing tradition in Helsinki is hundreds of years old. The latest chapter of this story began in 1995 on the island of Suomenlinna right outside of the city. It is here that a one man brewery was founded in the former jetty barracks. The brewery has grown to be home for a small group of dedicated professionals, all passionate about beer culture in Finland. Now Suomenlinna Brewery is one of the largest local breweries in town.
The rich history at this UNESCO world heritage site has been the inspiration for many new beers at Suomenlinna Brewery. Each beer and cider we brew has its own story to tell. When professional attitude and modern technology are combined, the end results are bold, honest, high quality drinks. Our special releases are a sign of our inspiration to create and to try new things.
When you drink a Suomenlinna beer or cider we hope you taste our commitment to quality and creativity. Come visit our brewery on the island of Suomenlinna, the pearl of the Helsinki archipelago. We hope you enjoy every sip. Kippis!

A pretty well made kettle sour, but clearly kettled. But balanced and the dry hop adds a nice touch. Suomenlinna Helsinki

On draft at the brewery with a carelian pie player, which was amazing. Hazy red amber with little head. Very little aroma, sour & grains. Flavor delivers with a tangy/acidic berry note and a bit of sweet caramel in the background. The salt emphasizes the berries very well.

Draft at the brewery. Cloudy reddish, small but lasting head. Tangy strawberry nose. Flavor reminds me of a Belgian lambic, serious sour berry content here, not too complex but tasty and clean. Not sweet.

On draft at the brewery. Hazy gold amber, head really lasts, perfect light coriander orange nose. The flavor is smooth, crisp, orange herbal with a background of mellow malt / caramel biscuit. Medium to light body. This would be the perfect summer afternoon beer, too bad it's raining today ;-) reading other reviews, maybe I got a new batch...

Draft at the brewery. Lightly cloudy gold, huge lasting head. Neutral spicy aroma. Clean complex earthy, herbal hop flavor dominates with a hint of grains in the background. Almost IPA bitterness.
