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.

Bottle. Almost clear, deep red body with a small pink head. Aroma is medium acidic with raspberries and ripe berries in general. Flavor has the same berries/raspberries dominance and lots of acidity. Medium body and acidic aftertaste. Very fresh, but a bit one-dimensional and acidic for my taste.

Oransje-brun farge med hvitt skum. Ser bra ut. Lukter tropiske frukter, grapefrukt og noe urter. Smaker grapefrukt, malt og sitrus i avslutningen.

Bottle from the lcbo. Dark brown pour, medium beige head. Aroma is quite sweet, loads of bread, solid grains, huge sweet, sticky malty notes. Full mouth feel, soft carb. Low bitterness, sweet caramel, sweet toffee, sticky syrupy sweet groans and breads. It's like drinking carbonated malt extract. A malty treat.

bottle from dsnowden, thank you!

Well this is an interesting impy stout. Aroma is very smokey. Burnt, chocolate, burnt coffee, and lots of burn malt. Flavour is quite malty with this distinct flavour i enjoy, and i’ve had it in a few other beers..........buti can’t put my finger on what it is. Finish is bitter, and ends withmore burnt chocolate, and coffee. My description is really lacking, but all i know is this is a wonderful beer, and i really enjoyed it.

bottle from dsnowden, thanks a bunch!
ONe word sums up this beer.......robust! Smells big time of roasted malt, and coffee, with a touch of ripe fruit. Flavour is very roasty, and smokey, with a nice roasted malt finish. great chocolate, and coffee flvours, they mingle nicely. Great stuff!
