A Finnish brewery has made a limited edition beer to mark the upcoming meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and United States President Donald Trump.

The Rock Paper Scissors Brewing company has made 10,000 bottles of their new dry-hopped lager, "Let's settle this like adults", which features art of Mr Putin and Mr Trump facing off in a game of “rock, paper, scissors".




The two leaders are scheduled to meet in Helsinki on Monday.

"Playing rock, paper, scissors ... we have always solved all kinds of problems," RPS Brewing CEO Samuli Huuhtanen said. "A couple of good beers can help any negotiation”.

“Maybe [the two leaders could go to] a Finnish sauna after that, and then we would have all the problems solved."

In addition to their new beer, RPS is also selling t-shirts and coffee branded with the same artwork.

If you were hoping to buy some, we have some bad news: all products have been long sold out. RPS Brewing said no further production runs will be made.

Mr Huuhtanen said he sent some of the limited-edition merch to the US and Russian embassies in Helsinki.

Last month, a number of businesses in Singapore marked the historic summit between Mr Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un with some .

One Mexican restaurant came up with “Rocket Man” and the "El Trumpo" tacos.

A bar offered two specialty cocktails, “The Trump” (a layered bourbon-based drink in the colours of the American flag) and “The Kim” (a deep red soju, a vodka-like alcohol loved in both Koreas).
