Description
A team of Faroese entrepreneurs are collaborating on building the islands’ latest brewery, located in the country’s capital, Tórshavn.
The brewery is called OY, a shortened word for “oyggj(ar)”, which means “island(s)”.
OY’s production capacity stands at approximately 1.2 million litres. In Faroese terms, it will be one of the islands’ biggest breweries. Internationally, it qualifies as a microbrewery.
OY will look to establish itself in the Faroe Islands first and foremost. In time, the plan is to start exporting its products.
Initially, OY will primarily focus on brewing and selling mainstream beers like pilsner, strong beer, IPA, and cider. Once those are up and running, special beers will also be added to OY’s beer catalogue. OY will function as a brewpub, offering beer tasting and tours, and will include a small shop with OY merchandise.

330ml can from Rúsdrekkasøla Landsins in Tórshavn - Deepest brown body with a firm tan head, very nice looking. Big roasted malty character, loads of liquorice and blackcurrant in there, sharp boozy warmth and a smooth lactose creaminess. Lush.

Poured from a can at Irish Pub, Tórshavn - Clear yellow, little frothy top. Nice fresh grassiness, citrussy and light malts. A good go to when driving in the Faroes.

On keg at Mikkeller in Tórshavn - Jet black body, tan head. Solid sweeter liquorice vibe to this, oily mouthfeel, blackcurrant, fruity finish. Good robust stout.
