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.

Draught from gingernanhattan. A reDdish brown. Not as oaky as I would have thought. A bit sour I guess it was the juniper.

On tap at Akkurat, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is rich, with lots of coconut, bourbon, and a bit of toasted hazelnuts. Flavour is extremely rich, with lots of dark roasted malt, huge bourbon, and only little bits of coconut and hazelnut. Quite boozy but the bourbon and roast are really powerful. Excellent.
