One of the new arrivals of the Helsinki craft beer revolution is Il Birrificio, which, despite its italian name is a traditionalish gastropub, with a brewing facility on the side.
It had taken a while before the house beers were available, but there was two on tap. Their own Fyrkka wasn’t a bad APA by any means, but Ruosniemi’s Willi was a very appropriately fruity witbier on a nice summer day.
The beer list wasn’t extensively long, but there were quite a few intriguing entries on it.
Sadly, schdeduling pressures prevented further experimentation and after single glasses of beer and a meal we had to move on.
Food was decent, the beer selection deserves a second visit – too bad the service was lacklustre: I definitely expect more than “pick your own utensils and a water pitcher” at these prices.
FI: Yksi stadin uusista olutbaareista tarjoili oivaa olutta, maistuvaa ruokaa ja sangen puutteellista palvelua.
