We created a series of beer called Gruve 3 to honor the mining community in Longyearbyen. The beers are named after work titles and known persons. This beer is dedicated to the owner of the brewery, Robert Johansen, a miner in Mine 3 from 1982-1994. at the age of 20 he took his pilot license, and in 1983 he bought his first plane. Seasoned miners were given nicknames. If you were assigned a nickname you were a person to remember. People quickly understood that Robert was a hardworking man and was therefore nicknamed «Autopilot».

Can. It's a lightly hazy one, deep golden in color, borderline amber, with some white bubbles. Booze, caramel, dark dried fruit, dried peach and some rye-like spicyness. It's full-bodied, warming, oily and very lightly spiced on the palate. Dark dried fruit, toffee, booze, spiced hints and peach in the flavor. Lasting finish. A pleasant barley wine indeed. 230422
