Seems to keep most of the rarer beers in big amounts and also usually has the sahti’s available. Seems to be storing a lot of special wines and the whisky shelf looked quite good compared to the whisky departments at my local alko’s. Good and helpful service.

Fantastic place. I like going here just for checking out what they have. And I usually walk out with a new beer! Friendly people and wine cellar in the basement. Affordable prices when it comes to (high-end) wines, but the beers could be a bit cheaper.

Wonderfully friendly and helpful staff. Passable selection of beers, alas the ’tickers’ are too quick here in Finland, and new releases can sell out almost instantly.

Good, personal service, fine selection of beers, including the Sahtis in the fridge. Nice, inviting store.

This is the brand new flagship store of the Finnish Alko (liquour monopoly). It is very centrally located, in 2 floors, and offers about 2600 different alcoholic drinks (mostly wines, sorry). It doesn’t carry all the beers available in Alko, but most of them. What’s more important, however, is that they sell many products (also beers!) that are not available in any other Alko shops in Finland. The (changing) special selection is available online at http://www.alko.fi/lippulaiva/fi
