The bar is set in a 1950s listed building in the centre of the city and will serve the bar’s 18 draft lines, including BrewDog’s flagship beers such as Punk IPA and Elvis Juice, alongside a selection of local Finnish and international guest beers.

Co-founder James Watt said: “After enjoying a taste of Helsinki’s incredible craft beer scene, we couldn’t wait to open another bar in Finland.

“The country is a hugely exciting hub for awesome craft beer innovation and experimentation, and we couldn’t be more excited to expand our presence here with a second bar in one of its most vibrant cities. We’re looking forward to bringing world-class beer to the passionate locals and intrigued visitors of Tampere.”
