Idiomatic playing live on Friday!
Idiomatic will be playing live on our Guinness stage on Friday, 24th of May!
Idiomatic is a five-piece pop/rock group from Tampere. They took their very first steps in 2006 and have played since. Really the band got it going in summer 2007 when it played its first gigs.
Musically Idiomatic is a mélange of this and that. The boys’ musical tastes and backgrounds are diverse and the common vision of the songs is usually formed during the jam sessions in the rehearsal room. Everybody brings something to the room and the mix of the five, well, that’s Idiomatic.
In autumn 2010 Idiomatic released their debut EP, There’s No Promise. It continues in their rich and powerfully melancholy indie sound from their earlier demos.

Olutmestarin 777 IPA on tap now!
It’s time for a change on the seasonal tap from Sinebrychoff. The product on this tap change 3-4 times a year.
The winner of the Beer Master 2013 competition, Mirva Kylmäkorpi, designed the malty Sinebrychoff Olutmestarin 777 IPA beer together with Heikki Vuokko from Sinebrychoff. It’s a fruity Indian Pale Ale with a malty toffee aroma that combines with a summery citrus hoppyness. It is dry, full of flavour and very quaffable. The malts used are pilsner malts and dark and light caramel malts. The aromatic citrus hoppiness has been achieved with both a rich aroma hopping and a dry hopping of the American Cascade and Citra hops. The three sevens in the name of the beer come from the alcohol prosentage (5,7 til-%), colour (17 EBC) and bitters (57 EBU).
