    I had no idea that Helsinki Beer Week started yesterday, but just stumbled upon it a moment ago on Instagram. Looks like it was created by the good people at Pien and consists of a bunch of tap takeovers throughout Helsinki from 24-30.7.2023 (Mon-Sun).

    Not seeing much noise beyond a couple of posts on Instagram though. Tried searching for more, which led me to a Facebook event page:

    https://www.facebook.com/events/817157576781773

    This appears to be the official page and apparently you have to rely on social media from those who participate (see below), which looks like just over a dozen locations so far.

    Maybe BeerAdvocate can participate next year!

    Organized for the first time last summer and enjoying huge popularity, Helsinki Beer Week, a celebration week of small producer beer, will once again take over the city on July 24-30! It is a week-long highlight of the summer, when Helsinki is filled with microbrewery-themed events in numerous different places.

    There is a wonderful selection of interesting local and international beers, and staff from top breweries will also come to Helsinki to share the good news of beer. So mark the whole week in your calendar now and get ready for a happy and super delicious beer trip around the city. This is not to be missed!

    We will publish more detailed information about the program of Helsinki Beer Week in this event, so please click to participate to stay up to date.

    Each participant will also share information about the Helsinki Beer Week program they organize on their own social media channels.

    Below you will find a preliminary list of participants and events where brewery representatives are present. Information will be added soon, stay tuned.

    Welcome to Helsinki Beer Week!

    Pien does arrange lots of great events, tap takeovers etc. so it pays to follow their Facebook page :+1:

    I've greatly reduced my time on all things Meta and X, but just signed up for Pien's newsletter (and begrudgingly followed them on FB).

    Given the number of Untappd verified venues, users, and menu systems in the area, I'm really surprised that Pien and others aren't utilizing Untappd's events functionality. The FrauGruber Showcase at Juova Hanahuone is the only event that's currently listed.
