It's been a while since I've posted, although there is a good reason 😉

I've taken myself back to (digital) school and am working on a proper social media strategy 😱

I don't see the content changing here so much, just the frequency 😳

Stay tuned, stay home and stay safe 😊

Continuing on the beer theme for at least one more post!
Are you on Untappd?
THE app for keeping track of your beers, and if you have lots of friends you can see what they are up to as well 🍻
Personally I use it as a beer diary, although it is nice to get a new badge every now and again 😉
I found this app thanks to a Fork In Hand guest who was very taken with the selections we found!

Following on from Friday's post about the beer trail, here is something we can all do. Thank you Sori Brewing 🍻

Share the craft beer quarantine bingo to show support to brewers around the world!

Let's make sure our favorite brewers and beer bars don't vanish from the world! Extremely difficult times for craft brewers, so today it's up to you make sure they are here also after pandemia.

The one stop that has been with us from the very beginning is Bryggeri Helsinki - we enjoy a sit-down lunch including a flight with some refreshing beverages brewed in house.

Occasionally our guests are keen to explore the Helsinki / 🇫🇮 Finnish brewing scene in a bit more detail and this blog-post has some great hints. I also recommend that you read the comments as they update the trail to include worthy additions and changes to the microbrewery scene 🍻

Be brave and cross the Pitkäsilta (long bridge)!

Monocle’s Helsinki Correspondent Petri Burtsov takes us on a tour around the traditionally working-class district of Kallio that has, in recent years, become…
