Borg Brugghus is an Icelandic brewery based in Reykjavík, known for pushing the boundaries of craft brewing in a country with a relatively young beer culture. Iceland only lifted its ban on beer in 1989, making its brewing scene remarkably recent. Borg Brugghus emerged as one of the country's more prominent brewing operations, sitting somewhere between a microbrewery and a larger commercial producer, while maintaining a strong creative identity driven by its brewmasters. The brewery is known for a wide and inventive portfolio that draws inspiration from Iceland's unique natural landscape. Among their most distinctive offerings is an arctic thyme beer, showcasing locally foraged botanicals as a flavouring ingredient. They also produce barrel-aged beers, including examples reaching up to 12.2% ABV, as well as stouts — including a porter/stout known as Hurðaskellir (Doorslammer). The brewery numbers its beers, giving their range a structured, collectible character that appeals to enthusiasts. Borg Brugghus has appeared in international beer listings and competitions, including the European Beer Challenge 2024, signalling recognition beyond Iceland's borders. Their beers are available in specialist bottle shops and beer bars, both domestically and in export markets such as the Netherlands. For visitors to Reykjavík, their beers are a recommended taste of Icelandic brewing craft.
