Helsinki trip (from Las Vegas) - May 28-29th

Hello my fellow RateBeerians. I will be arriving in Helsinki on the 28th and leaving the 30th so I have two nights to share beers and hit the town. I will be bringing some local beers from Nevada to give away if anyone is interested (just reply please, so I don’t give them all away in Copenhagen and Stockholm first). Also open to any suggestions of which bars/breweries to check out. Is it possible to pick up anything from Belarus in Finland? It being a relatively nearby country that I am missing. Cheers!

There’s a macro Belarusian tick sitting in my fridge back home in Tallinn, maybe we can illegally street-tick it! The plan is still to come over to Finland after our current Czech trip.

Some other belarusian beers (like Lidskoe Premium) are also easy to get in Estonia. From the quick look at your country ticks, you are also missing Georgia which is easy to get in Estonia (Zedazeni or Khevsuruli). There are also some others that have been widely available in Estonia (Turkey = Efes, Greenland = 69°N Isfjord Hvedeøl, etc), but I’m not sure if they are currently available. Maybe Phil can bring you some of these, if you are interested in country ticks. Ohh and maybe he can bring back Nevada tick to us :)

Country ticks: Cyprus in Finnish markets (KEO)
Bundeländer ticks: Saarland in Finnish markets (ACDC Beer)

I’ll gladly drink any beer from any region I haven’t had. From checking people’s profiles in Sweden I’ve already decided to bring some Idaho beers and possibly New Mexico as well.

Also, glad to hear you’ll be coming over FatPhil! Look forward to sharing a beer.
