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.

Pålitelige notater fra ekskursjon til Oslobyen den 13.10.25. Etter startgropa hos Amundsen har jeg klokket inn en fine rundetider på Cafe Fiasco og Mad Goat og er nå i full gang med å gå planken på Crowbar: uklar gylden med kort skum. Aprikosmarmelade, citron/lime, eik/vanilje og brett. Banerenser som klargjør meg for neste etappe (Røør i er i siktelinja).

Can from Systembolaget. A very solid IPA that delivers that west coast profile in bags. Just what you want to satisfy you after a long week. Nice gold, fantastic bitterness.

Can. A bit rough this version of Santa's spouse, but nice anyway. Smooth, warming, with a spiced touch and oak. Roasted malts. Guess it will benefit from some cellaring. 747414 251004

0,5 dosering fra bryggeriets utsalg, hjemme: klar gylden med fint skum som varer lenge i mitt elegante Storm P -glass. Floralt anslag og deilig maltsmak kombinert med litt citrus og furunål. En sjarmerende pilsner.

0,44 boks fra bryggeriet, delt med Kitty: uklar gyldengul med utmerket skum som varer. Delikat fruktig aroma og enda bedre smak med citrus, lychee, appelsinskall og fin urtebitterhet. God maltsmak og god fornøyelse!

Can @ home. Unclear golden brown body under a nice, big tan head. Aroma has malt, bread and some caramel. Taste is moderate sweet malt, hint of caramel, low bitterness and a nutty touch. A bit thin body and short in aftertaste. Drinkable indeed but frankly a bit boring finishing the can.
