Finnish Beerfestivals-Summer 2025

Finnish Summer 2025: Sunshine, Sauna... and So Much Beer!

Craft Beer Helsinki

Zinc craftbeerfestival

Let’s be honest — Finnish summer is basically a giant question mark. It might bless us with a week-long heatwave, or surprise us with sideways rain and mosquitoes in tactical gear. But one thing is certain: the beer will be flowing.

Summer 2025 is shaping up to be an epic one for beer lovers across Finland, with festivals popping up everywhere. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the Finnish craft scene, a curious taster looking for international brews, or just someone who loves sipping a cold one under a slightly confused summer sky — there's something for you. Some of these festvals are big, with 20+ breweries showing off their goods. Others are charming backyard-style parties with local taps and chill vibes. A few are even hosted by the breweries themselves, which means you're sipping straight from the source.

Personally, I’m hitting five of them this year — some for work, some for pleasure. You'll catch me at SOPP Tampere and Helsinki, Craft Beer Helsinki, Lepra Beerfest in Lappeenranta, and Zinc Craft Beer Festival in Vaasa. Can’t wait!
