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.

Nice unusual BW. Excellent by the fire and some solid rock.
More or less dark pour and a fine head.
Pleasant intensity in the aroma.
Ok sweetness for a beer like this.
Mellow carbonation level. Dangerously easy to drink.
Toffee, fruity, oak and some spices in the flavor.

Big bubbly-creamy mediumlasting head, cloudy yellow-ish color. Aroma is slightly dry floral, hay, dusty hops, pine needles, leafs, light malts, paper, grain, flowers, hints of citrus. Taste is slightly harsh sour-ish floral, leafs, hay, minerals, sour grass, bark, paper, flowers, light malts, dusty hops, grain, cardboard. Medium bitterness, slightly harsh sour-ish floral mouthfeel. Fair enough.
