Microbrewery in Tórshavn, Streymoy, Faroe Islands 🇫🇴

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 via Beer52. Poured into my lovely old Harboe Beer glass at home on 6th March 2026. Light mist within the golden body, soft white crown that lasted sat on top. First beer of a mini tasting with myself, wife out tonight. This is fine and a good start to the session. No aroma to talk of and very 'Lager Like', it's a thirst quencher rather than a sense taster or tester.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A hazy straw coloured pour with a loose white head; floral aroma; sweet cereal grain taste; and a grassy finish. Not bad.
