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!

(Keg at Bier-Bier, 20260122) The beer poured black. Its head was medium sized and lightly brown. Aroma had burnt malts, ash, sweetness and metal. Palate was medium bodied and warming with medium carbonation. Flavours were burnt malts, earth, sweetness, alcohols, ash and bitterness. Aftertaste had burnt malts, alcohols, ash and bitterness. A somewhat unbalanced burnt brew.

50cl can from Alko, Espoo. Pours close to black with a medium sized, beige head. Roasty aroma with notes of licorice, dried fruits, chocolate and wood. Smooth, sweet and malty with medium flavour intensity and a balanced bitterness. Quite enjoyable.

500ml can from Alko IIRC.
Poured deep golden in color, white steady head.
Sweetish ripe mango but also resiny hops, malts and good body. Works for me.

On tap at Angleterre, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is dry, with black liquorice, medium roast, and some earthiness. Flavour has plenty of black liquorice, medium roast, and earthiness. Tons of black liquorice and roast. Very good.

On tap at Kaisla, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has some bittering citrusy hops and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is much the same, with bitter citrus, some pine, and some old cardboardy bready malt. Nice crispness but not great hop expression. Dull.

On tap at Kaisla, pours a clear pale golden with a medium white head. Aroma has some metallic notes, bittering citrus peel, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is crisp and bitter, with plenty of citrus peel, light metallic notes, and crisp biscuity malt. Not a great hop expansion—seems a bit old or just not great quality products or just not a great recipe!
