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.

(Draft at Akkurat, Stockholm, 10 May 2025) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with treacle, dark chocolate, espresso, a touch of smoke, hazelnuts and caramel. Malty, roasted, vinous taste with notes of dark chocolate, espresso, treacle, hazelnuts, coconut and a balanced coffee bitterness in a finish with a slightly boozy touch. Full body, quite sweet. Rich, tasty and powerful. Very nice.

Bottled - dark pour with red brown tinges, fairly heady. Lots of chocolate malts and coffee but not overpoweringly so. Some breadiness and yeast - very complex and good.
