Pintakorjaukset

Pintakorjaukset, also known as "pintakorjaus" or "pintakorjauspäivä" in Finnish, refers to a traditional Finnish custom of visiting friends and neighbors to drink a pint of beer together. This custom is deeply rooted in Finnish culture and is often celebrated on specific days throughout the year, such as the Midsummer celebration, Christmas, and New Year's Eve. The tradition involves gathering at someone's home, where the host serves a pint of beer to each guest, typically accompanied by snacks and conversation. The visits are usually reciprocal, meaning that each participant also visits others in return. This practice fosters a sense of community and social cohesion, reinforcing the importance of friendship and neighborly relations in Finnish society. The custom is not limited to beer; other beverages like cider or mead may also be served, depending on regional preferences and traditions.
