Asennuskalja
Finnish for "installation beer."
The beer you drink while working on a project, where the beer counts as part of the toolset. The rule is that there has to be a build: assembling, mounting, wiring, or installing something. A defined task with an end state, not just a chore.
Building a shed in the backyard qualifies. Mowing the lawn does not. Classic projects include flat-pack furniture, a deck, or installing an operating system. Engineering quality may go down as cans go up, but morale goes the other way.

Korjaussarja
Finnish for "repair kit." Part of Finnish drinking culture's habit of naming a beer for its specific occasion.
This is the one you have the morning after to take the edge off a hangover. The framing is that you are not partying, you are performing maintenance on yourself. Quantity varies, but it is meant to repair, not to start a new session.
