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.

Medium to longlasting bitterness, slightly harsh spiced and boozy mouthfeel. Weird.

Can. Almost black with a fat tan coat that doesn't last. Aroma of coffee mainly. Some caramel and roast. So it tastes. The coffee is lighter roasted than guessed. Smooth texture. Fairly sweet with little bitterness. The roast is a bit too subdued for my taste but the coffee is not overbearing.

Tåkete gulbrun med høyt hvitt skum som varer, Lukter sitrus og noe urter. Frisk med smak av sitrus og krydder i avslutningen. Akkurat passe karbonert :-)
