Spent an enjoyable late summer evening in Korkeasaari, the venerable zoo of Helsinki.
Unlike the neighboring Suomenlinna, there’s no brewery in Korkeasaari. Probably the goal is to keep the island as family-friendly as possible, and that precludes craft beer as well.
However, considering that Coco, the oldest resident, is an aging lady sloth, and the Los Angeles Zoo just announced sloth-curated beer, it would not be too much of a stretch to actually come up with a selection of animal-corresponding beer. The likes of spectacularly labeled Otter Gose, Poison Arrow Frog Sour and juniper-flavoured Bobcat Pils would probably rise above the news’ event horizon in the slow summer months, and the to-be-founded brewery would obviously be able to directly sell their wares all the way to the mighty Siberian Tiger Triple IPA clocking in just below the maximal 12 volts.
