This year’s best beer brewed in Finland is Takatalo & Tompuri‘s Kaski Savubock.
Unfortunately it is a very limited release, available at the brewery in Virolahti and the nearby monopoly stores. Will keep an eye out, but I bet it’ll be a while before it lands in the capital area.
While some of the annual selections have been questionable (like blandly boring Valo a couple of years back), the 2021 choice was spot-on: Olari’s Runaway was and is an impeccable take on NEIPA.
As expected the wikipedia page on the subject provides a mighty lowdown on the prospects and winners. But only up to 2020, so there’s two years of statistics waiting for somebody to act on.
FI: Harmittavaisen vaikeasti haalittavaan raati päätyi.
