I was most pleasantly surprised at the excellence of the beers brewed and sold here. Mein Host, advised us as to the characteristics of each brew all of which, bar one, were sampled. The exception was the one that they distribute throughout the rest of the country and which he thought was a bit inferior!!

We didn't do the brewery tour but did have a couple of pints in the bar. By far the best beer in Norway!

The brewery pub is worth a visit - be warned that it closes at 6pm! They have lots of different beers and some food. There is a great stuffed polar bear you have your picture taken with. They do tours of the brewery followed by a beer - we didn't do this but saw the end of a tour having... More
