About
The Ægir Brewery was established by Aud Melås and Evan Lewis. The brewery was named after the god of the seas, Ægir, from the Norse Mythology. He was according to Odin the best brewer in the world.
Ægir Brewery was one of the first craft beer breweries in Norway – and definitely has the most distinctive brewpub. Inspired by Ægir´s mythological hall under the sea, the brewpub is built to give the feel of a Viking style longhouse. You have to go at least a thousand years back in time to find an atmosphere like this; open fire, dragon carvings and a stave church roof that wasn´t built in a day.
Since the start Ægir Brewery has continued to grow and in 2012 expanded with a brand-new production facility that today boasts a capacity of a million litres per year.
The export marked became very important for the brewery and made up an increasingly large part of the yearly volume. At some point Ægir Brewery was exporting to twelve different countries.

The canned beer production was moved from Flåm early in June 2023 to Amundsen Bryggeri in Oslo. Only draught beers served at Flåmsbrygga will be produced locally in Flåm. The brewpub and hotel, Flåmsbrygga, was sold early in 2025. In 2025, over 40 percent less Ægir beer was sold in grocery stores than the year before. From June 2026 Amundsen takes over the Ægir brand and all beer production.

Two 500ml bottles from Fenaknoken shared with Eva as a fine partner to pizza. Great foamy eggshell head reduced to a filmy layer after a short while. Hazy, pale yellow body. Light smell of fresh grassy hops. Very mild and gentle flavour of sherbet hops with backdrops of lemon and peach. Dry ending. Medium mouthfeel and easy drinking (05.07.2008).

6.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 4 Overall 7.5
Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin lazing off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel, flowers, and hops. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, alcohol, grapefruit, and other citrus fruits, leading to a dry bitterfinish - a cold hop soup. The body is thin - I think it has a very low final gravity.

500 ml bottle. Dark brown, almost black body with a medium beige head. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee and a hint of liquorices. Flavor is mild roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate and dry fruit. Tasty and easy drinkable, well balanced porter in a lower alcohol range. Very nice when served at the right temperature (not cold).

6.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Biggish offwhite head. Hazy yellow body. Dense mealy fruity rubbery grassy aroma, quite harmonic, with malty notes. Dry-sweet rubbery floral grassy taste with fruity bready notes. Sharp edge to it. A bit stale. Dry grassy aftertaste with chalky notes. Nice, but kölsch isn’t really my thing. (0.5l bottle from Fenaknoken.)

500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Bottle conditioned, ABV is 4.7%. Pale golden colour, fairly clear, only a faint haziness in the end. Decent white head. Fruity aroma (apples and citrus). The flavour is also fruity with some peppery hops. Like other kölsches it is a nice and refreshing beer, but not really very exciting. Might be a gateway beer for pale lager drinkers into the world of ales.

Rerate: Somewhat better flavour this time (I’m upping it a couple points), but this is still not the very best porter I’ve had. Original rating: 500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Also kindly supplied to me by Ole R, from Fenaknoken, Oslo. Bottle conditioned, ABV is 4.7%. Black colour, with a big to moderate tan head, no lacing. Nice roasty aroma, notes of coffee and dark chocolate, just a hint of liquorice. The flavour and mouthfeel are somehat acidic, watery / thin and bland for a porter, there is a moderate roastiness but not much else to interest me. Metallic finish. Disappointing.
