HaandBryggeriet is one of Norway's pioneering craft breweries, established at a time when the country's craft beer scene was still in its infancy. Together with a handful of early trailblazers, the brewery helped lay the foundation for what would become a thriving Norwegian craft beer culture. Their original home was the Riverside brewery, a location with ties to the area's textile factory history — a heritage subtly nodded to in some of their beer names. The brewery has built a reputation for brewing adventurous and ambitious beers, continually pushing the boundaries of what Norwegian craft beer can be. Their portfolio spans a wide range of styles, with notable strength in hoppy beers including robust IPAs that draw comparisons to the best of the northwest American style. Over the years, HaandBryggeriet has both refined their core range and expanded into more experimental territory, reflecting a genuine passion for the craft. HaandBryggeriet has also embraced the collaborative spirit of the global craft beer community, participating in multi-brewery collaboration projects with respected names from Belgium, Spain, and beyond. Their beers are stocked by specialist craft beer retailers across Europe, cementing their status as one of Norway's most internationally recognised craft breweries.
