Description
The brewery was founded in 2005 by four home brewers who wanted to make high quality beers. In 2016 two of the original founders retired, and the brewery is today owned by a constellation of the two remaining founders, some employees at the brewery and three other Norwegian craft breweries.

Haandbryggeriet currently has 10 employees all participating in developing new ground breaking beers and recipes.

The brewery has a wide selection ranging from classic and traditional beers to new and innovative brews and hybrid beer styles. Sometimes brewed with local and Nordic ingredients such as cherries, sea buckthorn, raspberries, and lingonberries. Haandbryggeriet has since 2005 also made high quality sours and barrel aged beers such as porters and Christmas beers.

Flavour is quite massive, with lots of roasted malt, black liquorice, coffee, earthy hops, and dark sugars. Finishes bitter, with plenty of roast and coffee. Excellent.

170ml draught at Ølhallen. Next-to-clear dark golden body, filmy layer, scattered lacing. Inviting on the nose with leafy hops and semi-sweet malts. Fine balanced taste of semi sweet malts, leafy hops, and a note of piney moments. Bittersweet ending. Drinks well. Nice. (Tromsø, 05.07.2025).
