This year marks the 395th anniversary of the construction of the Kõpu #Lighthouse in #Estonia, one of the oldest working lighthouses in the world. 🎉🎂🥂 The lighthouse was originally built as a daymark; it was not until 1649 that a lantern was added.

A case of Tuletorn beers in the boot of a car.
On Saturday, I stopped by #Tuletorn to pick up some supplies for a beer tasting I'm hosting at the office on Friday. I'm quite looking forward to this one.

A tall, cylindrical brick lighthouse, its red paint largely weathered away, stands next to a one-story wooden house on a cloudy day. A metal lattice tower rises from behind the house.
Extensive renovations are set to begin this month at the 1889 Pakri #Lighthouse in #Estonia. (Subscription required.)

Given my sweet tooth and weakness for carefully crafted booziness, I've rated this on 4.75/5 on #Untappd. This rating remains unchanged since I first had this beer as a float during my first visit to #Tuletorn brewing in #Kopli, #Tallinn. #CraftBeer #Estonia
To pair with tonight's dinner of boiled potatoes, stir fried sauerkraut and a huge, slowly roasted hunk of pork, I've gone with #Tuletorn brewing's "Give the People What they Want". At 10.5% ABV, this "smooth imperial stout loaded with chocolate and banana" is certainly robust. #CraftBeer #Estonia
A photo of a beer can on a table. The label on the can is white with an image of a blue and red beehive and a bee flying between them. The name of the beer is "Kaks Kodu" (Two Homes). In the background, fairy lights can be seen lighting up the scene on an otherwise pitch black balcony.
Tonight's sauna brew was Kaks Kodu (Two Homes) from #Tuletorn brewing in #Kopli, #Tallinn. A "modern wee heavy with honey" at 8% ABV, it's sweet without being icky and very much full-bodied and then some. Delightful til the final sip. Rated 4.25/5 on #Untappd #CraftBeer #Estonia
