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.

Can, best before Jan 10, 2028, drunk Oct 21, 2025.
Light haziness. Soft-toned cherry-amber-beige. Small, well-retained, butter-colored head.
Fruity-sweet, smokey and peppery with dry wood smoke not the bacon and salt of Bamberg. The fruitiness is lovely, lending a pleasant cherry-like character to balance the dry smokiness and spicy black pepper phenol. Very clean and polished, doesn't seem intensely malty.
Big malts up front, mostly texturally, with only moderate sweetness. It dries out with woody smoke, big pepper phenol and fruity cherry. The big, chewy texture never leaves, though, and it ends with lingering, satisfying maltiness.

Can from Systembolaget. A very solid IPA that delivers that west coast profile in bags. Just what you want to satisfy you after a long week. Nice gold, fantastic bitterness.

Can. A bit rough this version of Santa's spouse, but nice anyway. Smooth, warming, with a spiced touch and oak. Roasted malts. Guess it will benefit from some cellaring. 747414 251004
