Here is listed my tasting notes for different kind of global beer.
My favourite ones are the British ales and it is very invigorating
to have a pint every now and then. I also like very much Finnish
microbreweries and their beers.
And these are just my opinions. Feel free to think differently.

4 p = Very good and very pleasant beer
5 p = Excellent/brilliant beer, top quality purchase










P.S. Try to support the Finnish small and independent breweries and buy their products. Try to avoid big, national breweries. It was a very poor decision by Sinebrychoff to announce that they are going to shut down Pori Brewery (the original home of Karhu) which is the oldest brewery in Northern Europe that still stands in its original place. Shame on you!!

Like CAMRA in Britain, we should be having SPY (Suomalaisten Pienpanimoiden Ystδvδt). In English that would be something like HOMBRE (Homage to the Finnish Microbreweries). Hope we will see more and more microbreweries in Finland in the future.
