Description
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 market has become very important for the brewery and makes up an increasingly large part of the yearly volume. Ægir Brewery is currently exporting to twelve different countries.
The canned beer production was moved from Flåm early in June 2023 to Amundsen Bryggeri in Oslo.

Svart. Lavt skum med litt farge. Fjærlett aroma av røstet malt. Smaken sjokolade. Lett tørr avslutning. Forbausende kjedelig.

Can @ home. Unclear, dark golden body under a fine white head. Aroma has malt, toffee and Belgium spicy yeast. Taste is sweet malt, mild toffee, Belgium yeast, some citric fruit, hint of banana and moderate bitterness. Medium body with a nice, fresh and slightly caramel/toffee aftertaste. A rather interesting take on the blond style that pushes the limits toward not so blond but still have a lot of the elements from blonde like yeast and fruit etc.

Taste is malty with honey, berries, dried fruits, wood, vanilla, plum jam . Warming alcohol. Not full bodied for 12% ABV, boozy, but I liked it a lot.
