Latest reviews from Kilpisjarvi

“A rather small, four-sided room with just a few beers above 5.5 % abv. There is also a small selection of non-alcohol beers. Close to the K-Market with the same entrance. About two hours bus ride from Tromsø. Friendly Norwegian speaking service. (Visited with Helga, 08.05.2024).“

“A rather small shop in a rather small, remote place far up north. Fairly wide selection of everything, including Moomin stuff, hiking equipment and not to bad selection of beer either. Certainly not a must, but well worth checking out if passing by.“

“Very small Alko, narrow selection - but sometimes I find one or two beers which are new to me. Ladies in good mood work there.“

“This is the main reason to stop here. Lots of Finnish beer ticks are waiting to be picked up by Norwegians. Nothing really "crazy" to be found but some decent beers from Tornion and Lapin Panimo and some Russian macro ticks. Better beer selection than most other grocery stores in Norhern Finland. Blame it on thirsty Norwegians! Beers in grocery stores in Finland are up to 5.5%, therefore most bottles and cans are pils, lager, amber and other "light" styles. Well worth a visit but not very cheap nowadays. (Visited July 22nd 2020)“

“A very small Alko bottle shop, more people (Norwegian) inside than beer bottles. Luckily, I did not get Covid 19 virus! I found two new beers from Finland. Outside it was raining and 8 degrees Celcius, summer far north! (Visited July 22nd 2020)“

“The grocerer at Kilpishalli has had an eye for smaller breweries in Finland and other countries long before Kilpishalli became officially a member of K-markets. Hundred bottled beers. Norwegians also buy meat and sugar here.“

“After Finland lifted the abv from 4.7 % to 5.5 % for buying alcohol in grocery stores like this, the selection of beers has increased, not only with new breweries on the shelves, but with breweries making new and stronger versions, like 5.2 % and 5.5 %, of their products. At the Kilpis store the regional beers, like Lapin and Tornion are in the front of the shelves with a good variety of their beers. The selection has expanded mostly with Finnish beers, but also from further afield. Good prices and polite service. The nearby restaurant has also got a few beers from Tornion and Lapin. Open on Sundays. (Visited with djoeye, Siri, Heli and Viktoria 12.08.2018).“

“Small Alko in the same building as Kilpishalli. Well worth a visit if you stop here anyway.“

“A small shoppigcentre with ok selection of beers( --4,7% alc), good compared to Norwegian standard. Here you find beers you don’t find in Norway, so ok for Beerhunting. Alko.fi has opened a store here, but the selection of beers are not so good, but there you will find higher alc. beers.“

“2010-04-08: Border-shop, with an alright beer selection. Better selection than most shops on the Norwegian side within at least 100 kilometers.

Update 2015-08-04:The selection now seems much better, with lots of different Finnish beers, some Czech ones as well. Much improved, I would say. Bumped up the score from 24 to 48.“

“This is a shopping centre on the border between Finland and Norway. They have a surprisingly good selection of beer and cider. There is a restaurant upstairs but not recommended for beer hunting. Update 2011/2012: After restructuring the shop during the autum 2011 it’s become even better - also beerwise. Must be more than 100 on the shelves - and a lot of cider, too.“
