Visited Kråkö Bryggeri on Kråkö, an island in the outskirts of Porvoo.
Had tasted a couple of their early beers last summer when they started with pale ales.
Now the selection was wider, ranging from lagers to an imperial stout, via a handful of customer-branded beers.
Unfortunately they had sold out of the trendiest product – a hazy IPA.
Brought home a boxful of singles and a couple of each of the stouts. Both the imperial and regular variety were of the same tree: dry, roasty and pleasant, with the stronger one carrying a hint of salted licorice in the taste.
The brewery is located in an old school, and serves food and has an art gallery as well. The gardens contain both meadows and hops (forgot to ask whether their curreny wares held any of the homegrown).
Opted for dinner at the next stop, Bosgård farm, and lucked out to sample the other “not-available-at-the-brewery” brewed for the farm. Bosgård Ale turned out to be an old school bitter one, and good accompaniment for the sirloin steak.
FI: Porvoon maalaiskunnan panimo oli laajentunut ja laajentanut valikoimaansa oikein muikeasti.
