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!

Clear amber color, small steady off-white head. Pale malty, woody hoppy, a bit fruity nose. Fruity, perfumic flavor. Strawberry and clover too. Unfermented sugars make this sweet.

Amber color, small off-white head. Honeyish hoppy nose. Crisp carbonation. Bitterish, slightly sweet malty flavor. Easy going bitter. Cleaner than the average Suomenlinnan brew. Propably good session beer.

Draught at the brewpub. Pale yellow, minimal head. Light grassy nose. Light bodied and very dry with crisp malt underneath a thin blanket of grassy, spicy hops. Long grassy bitter finish. A good, quenching pils, which was not what I expected when the bored bartender splashed the pale yellow liquid into an oversized glass without caring, and then handed me the half full glass with a yawn.

Draught at Black Door, Helsinki. Clear amber, brief head. Light resiny hops sway over a lightly mellow/syrupy body. Resiny finish with medium bitterness. A pretty basic ale aimed towards a non-beer geek audience that fails to impress when surrounded by beers from more ambitious microbreweries.

Draught. Golden colour, small white foamy head. Honey, malts and hops in aroma. Smooth malty, hoppy and honeyish flavour. Some weak metallic hints also, which makes it a bit unbalanced.

Draught (4.5%). Amber coloured, mediumsized off-white bubblyish head. Aroma is hoppy and malty. Flavour is hoppy, and being more sour than bitter. Hayish aftertaste. Wellbalanced and refreshing.

(On tap 25 cl) Very black, almost opaque, no head. Dry, decent but not overwhelming bitterness. A rather light Porter by Nordic/Baltic standards - also not that fullbodied. Neat and easy to drink. 170405
