Description
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!

Draught (Helsinki Beer Festival 2010) - Hazy golden. Soapy aroma with hints of lemo. Slightly spicy taste with lemon and banana. Not bad, but not much to write home about.

The last one I’ve had at the HBF 2010, as others were urging me to leave. Aaand I had to walk home because of this one I guess. Oops? :D Anyway, hazy yellow/golden body. Light dusty nose, some apples. Quite light taste, somewhat sourish, appley, some light sweetness. Basically an ordinary cider, a bit too light in body, a bit more genuine than the average Finnish example, but I didn’t like it all that much because I thought it was too watery.

Draught? at HBF. Poured a golden-amber body with a small white head. Dusty nose, some socks, some berry jam, some apples. Light strawberry jam in the taste, sweet and light, very light bitterness. Not a proper IPA I guess but ok enough as a beer.

Draught at the brewpub... really surprised me not to find this on rb. Poured a clear amber-orange body. Sweet, pungent red apple nose. Acidic, slightly mouth puckering taste, sour red apple, some glue. Some ok fruitiness in there but the mouthfeel is crap.
