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!

Tap @ SOPP 2019. Poured unclear light golden in color with a dense white head. Aroma had some yeast, funkyness, some sourness and lemony notes. Funk, sourness and lemony tartness in flavor. Quite interesting but not really my thing.

(Keg at Kitty's, 20190705) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness and lightly tartness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, tartness, sweetness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, tart and bitter. A decent sweet and hoppy brew with lightly tart notes.

330ml bottle kindly shared by djoeye. Remaining fawn-coloured head leaving spotty lacing on the glass. Coal black body. Earthy, roasted malty nose, quite promising. Grainy dark malty flavours, earth and nuts. Mid-sweet, slightly roasted finish. Medium bodied. Nice. (Session at Pivoteka H7, Tromsø 03.06.2019).
