Beer Festivals
Finland is one country that knows its beer (and, yes, your Road Trips Foodie speaks from personal experience).
Those of you traveling to northern Europe this summer will have several opportunities to taste the beers and other brews of Finnish and Scandinavian small and independent brewers at four festivals.
The fests promise more than 30 different brands of beer and cider to choose among, plus a beer quiz, music and (of course) food.
Cities hosting Beer Festivals are Turku (June 14 through 16, 2012), Lahti (June 28 through 30, 2012) and Helsinki (July 26 through 28, 2012, and August 23 through 25, 2012).
There’s more information online, but it’s all in Finnish!
