Lervig Aktiebryggeri is a Norwegian craft brewery founded in 2003 in Stavanger, Norway's third largest city. The brewery was established following the relocation of Tou beer production to Oslo, stepping in to continue independent brewing in the Stavanger region. From its earliest days, Lervig played a meaningful role in shaping Norway's emerging craft beer sector, positioning itself as one of the country's pioneering independent producers at a time when the domestic craft beer scene was still in its infancy. Over the years, Lervig has grown into one of Europe's most respected craft breweries, consistently ranked among the most important craft breweries on the continent. The brewery produces a broad portfolio of beer styles, catering to both everyday drinkers and dedicated craft beer enthusiasts. Their range spans from accessible lagers to ambitious, high-gravity styles such as Russian Imperial Stouts, including a notable Pastry Stout reaching 14.8% ABV. Lervig is also known for its collaborative spirit, having brewed together with breweries such as Evil Twin and Jopen, among others. Lervig's reputation extends well beyond Norway's borders. The brewery has been featured in international beer media and recognised as one of the 15 most important craft breweries in Europe. Their willingness to experiment — from non-alcoholic beers to bold, barrel-aged stouts — reflects a brewery that continues to push the boundaries of Norwegian craft brewing.
