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 0,5l. Dark brown. An aggressive head that disappeared rather quickly. Dominated by far too high carbonation that owershadows the flavour. Lot of sediments.

Bottled@RBESG’06. Patch #30. Hazy orange, small white head. Wheaty, slighly sour nose. Carbonated, crisp, light banana notes. Not spicey but overall like crossover of German weizen and witbier.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7

50 cl bottle at The Rover in Gothenburg, Sweden. Shady orange color, big white to tan head. Hoppy fruity scent, rather "small" though. Big hoppy fruity fresh taste. Good bitterness. Medium high mouthfeel. Yeast sediment at the bottom is cafe latte colored, smells like chocolate. Though trust, me, it’s totally undrinkable, strange bitterness that makes you crave water.
