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.

Gul uklar med hvitt skum. Lukter lyse stenfrukter og noe granskudd. Lett. Bitter. Smaker grapefrukt og barnål. Ren.

Mi2 på Cardinal 15.09.25, hvor vi starter med denne fatølen: helt uklar grågul med ok skum. Ser nokså uappetittelig ut, og både aroma og smak minner om utseendet. Kan det være slutten på fatet? Overmoden citrus og dvaske tropiske frukter pluss furunål, lite maltsmak og besk avslutning. Heldigvis har jeg en boks hjemme, så denne skal få en ny sjanse.

Helt grei, smaker litt mye vørter synes jeg, og når ikke opp til NØ sin ESB

0,44 boks fra Den Store Postordrekatalogen, hjemme: nesten helt klar gylden med fint skum. Imøtekommende aroma og smak preget av pilsnermalt og de deilige Saaz, Tettnanger og HM i fin kombinasjon. Fruktig, krydret og eminent pøsbar. Mild bitterhet og ganske så saftig i avslutningen.

Can from Systembolaget. Always if you call a beer such a name you're going to have high expectations. It did not really deliver on that front and came across all a bit thin, even if it was reasonably hopped enough.

On tap at Cardinal, Stavanger. ABV was said to be 6.7%. Cloudy yellow colour, large and creamy white head. Aroma of citric hops, hints of tropical fruits and sweat. The flavour has citrus and yellow stonefruits, a hint of tropical fruits, hints of dust, decent bitterness.
