I believe that Panimoyhtiö Tuju or just Tuju for short is the first Finnish brewery at the Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Festival so it has to be the first brewery featured this month.
For our taster tray, let’s start with…
K A L K K A R O- an American lager
K A R I B I A N P I L A T E S – Micro NEIPA
N E S T E H U K K A – a Red IPA
then finish with the barrel-aged barleywine, Remains – “Aged for eight months in cognac barrels, this barleywine has developed a truly unique flavor, while retaining all the best elements of its natural character. “Remains” possesses rich, inviting aromas that open the olfactory portal to smooth notes of dried fruit and toffee-like sweetness, while giving way to a dry, brandy-like finish, courtesy of the barrels.”
