he buys beer from elsewhere
Finland's four national breweries - Hartwall, Olvi, PUP and Sinebrychoff - produce a total of 34 different medium-strength and strong beers (classes III and IV). There are also numerous minibreweries in Finland nowadays. A variety of low-alcohol beers (class I) and seasonal beers rounding out the selection.Most of the beers in Finland (and the rest of the world) are made with a bottom-fermenting yeast. This means the yeast sinks to the bottom during fermentation. Ales, on the other hand, are made with a different type of yeast which rises to the top. Finnish beers are generally light lagers, although darker varieties have gained popularity in recent years. Medium-strength beer, which is around 4.5 % alcohol by volume, accounts for 90 % of beer consumption in Finland.Beer consumption in Finland amounts to over 80 litres per person a year[b said:Quote[/b] (colby2152 @ Sep. 13 2005,9:13)]What type of beers are Finnish?
