Pien beer shop interior.

Pien

Helsinki


Finland boasts around 90 small-beer outfits across the country, and many of these line the shelves at Pien, a tiny, mostly bottled-beer boutique and bar tucked away behind the Ateneum Museum of Art. Less familiar foreign brews are represented, with some on tap. Try home-grown Flying Dutchman Tight Lipped flavoured with Nordic berries or Arctic Stout from Tornio in Lapland.
