Settlersbrew

When Iceland was settled, Norsemen with the knowledge of beer-making came with them. It is known that brew-houses were built for brewing beer, e.g. on Hólar in Hjaltadal. In this country, the knowledge and experience of old-fashioned brewing has died out, but it can be found in Norway. The aim of the project is twofold. On the one hand, building facilities to brew old-fashioned beer, similar to the one that was brewed in the settling era (and is still brewed in Norway). And on the other hand, introducing such beer and its production to the public.

The Icelandic Beer Society an association of beer enthusiasts based in Hólar in Hjaltadal. The brewery runs a bar in an old barn at Holar in Hjaltadalur, where a worker's apartment used to be. At the bar, the emphasis is on a good selection of purchased beer mixed with our own production. At the Society, groups can receive light education about beer, beer-making and beer culture, but it is important to keep in mind that all work on behalf of the Bjórsetrin is done on a voluntary basis and it is not always certain that someone will be available to carry out such projects. Contact us to explore the possibilities.

Anyone interested in beer and beer culture is welcome to become members of the Icelandic Beer Society in Holar in Hjaltadalur.

The Society runs both a brewery and a bar, as well as organizing the annual Beerfestival Holar. Members of the club receive special rates at the bar and a special t-shirt to mark their status.

The annual fee for the Beer Club is 7000ISK for the first year and 3500ISK annually after that. Charge appears in your home bankaccount once a year. If the annual fee is not paid, the membership to the club is cancelled.
