Locally crafted beers are getting more popular by the minute in Finland. They have already taken over restaurants around the country and the best of them have won several awards in international competitions.

Koskipanimo | Plevna 

Tampere’s oldest small brewery, Koskipanimo is the heart of Plevna Brewery Pub & Restaurant, located in the historical Finlayson factory district in central Tampere. In addition to seasonal products, the brewery produces nearly twenty different beers, ciders and meads, including the award-winning Siperia Stout and Weizenbock. Their products are also available at the brewery’s sister venture, Oluthuone Panimomestari near Tampere’s railway station.

Nokian Panimo

Started out as a protest against the closure of the traditional and locally important Pyynikki Brewery, Nokian Panimo, based in the town of Nokia outside Tampere, is now one of Finland’s leading mid-sized breweries. Their beers, ciders and soft drinks are readily available at most grocery stores around the country. Good starting points to their product line are the award-winning Keisari 66 American Pale Ale and Keisari Elowehnä.

Pyynikin Craft Brewery (Pyynikin Käsityöläispanimo)

An ambitious artisan brewery with more than 1,000 private owners, Pyynikin Craft Brewery has already gained international recognition with its products: their Ruby Jazz Ale won its category at the 2016 World Beer Awards and their Black IPA has been selected the best Finnish dark IPA several times over. You can check the availability of their products with the handy map of retailers.

Nordic Brewery 

With its origins in the local Gastropub empire, Nordic Brewery produces no-nonsense beers for the slightly more conservative palate.  The most likely places to bump into Nordic’s products are the Gastropub restaurants.

Brewcats | Sideshow Brewery 

Tampere’s gypsy brewers extraordinaire, Brewcats took Finland’s brewery scene by storm in 2015 with their all-girl staff and saucy advertising. Working under the wing of Sideshow Brewery, their product concepts are brought to life by using production capacity rented from other small breweries.

Olutpaja 

Located in Pälkäne, 40 km southeast of Tampere, Olutpaja’s products can be purchased from the magnificent Rönnvik Winery in Pälkäne.

Teerenpeli 

Hailing from Lahti, 130 km southeast from Tampere, Teerenpeli Brewery & Distillery runs restaurants in Tampere and other cities.

Atmos Brewing

Driven by passion and a strong sense of local identity, Atmos Brewing creates high-quality craft beers brewed locally. The brewery blends modern recipes with a vibrant community spirit. At the Atmos Taproom, you can experience not only the beers but also the welcoming atmosphere.
