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.

Waxed bottle 50 cl. Pours an opaque black with a tiny, tiny rough brown head. Fatty curtains in the glass. Intense aroma of sweet roast, vanilla, molasses and Bourbon with subtle wood. Super rich body, almost flat. More of the above paired with some sweet licorice. Roaring alcohol burn. Wauw, super delish. 170326

Bottle 37,5 cl. Pours a hazy amber with a small, rough, off-white head. Intense aroma of sweet, noble rot paired with acetobacter and Brettanomyces. Medium body, completely flat with more of the above and a distinct acetic acidity. The hibiscus and seabuckthorn died in the acidity flavor wise. This is basically a Lambic, and not a bad one. 170326

Fra fat på Apollon: rødlig mørk kastanjefarge med fint skum som varer. Mørke karamellsjokolader, mørke bær og hint av ristede hasselnøtter og nystekt brød. Mild bitterhet i avslutningen. En skikkelig koseøl.

330ml can, thanks to Finn. Shared with him and Leif. Clear copper-reddish body, declining off-white head, fair lacing. Dried and dark fruits on the nose. Fine mixed malt-fruity taste with hints of caramel, prunes, and oak. Lingering, mid-sweet finish warming down the swallow. Fine depth to it. Pleasing (Tromsø, 10.03.2026).
