Bergen has become a paradise for beer enthusiasts, regardless if you are interested in the craft, are brewing your own beer - or just would like to have a cold beer on Bryggen. No matter which of these you are, you are guaranteed to appreciate a proper visit to one of Bergen's microbreweries. Check out what you can experience at the breweries in Bergen!

Quality craft beer is easier to obtain than ever. Thanks to local small breweries the range in both convenience stores and liquor stores is growing. But maybe you want to learn more about the brewing itself, about the choice of ingredients and the traditional methods that are used? Or maybe you want to taste beer as fresh as you can get it - straight from the tank?
7Fjell Bryggeri (7 Mountains Brewery)
If you are interested in local craft beer from Bergen, 7Fjell Brewery is probably the first brewery that comes to mind. The popular microbrewery is also a natural choice if you want to get close to the actual production of the golden drink. 7Fjell has its own "tap room" in the middle of the brewery - a room where you can participate in beer tastings, or book for a private event.
In addition, 7Fjell holds an “open brewery” on the last Friday of each month. These Fridays they open both floors for visitors - including the production and the warehouse, and you can get guided tours, tastings and a bite to eat. The brewery is located in Fjellsdalen on Bønes, south of Bergen city center.

Tøsse Brygghus
Tøsse Brygghus is beautifully located at the innermost part of the Osterfjord, surrounded by majestic mountains and untouched Western Norwegian nature. You can even arrive by boat if you wish and dock at their private pier.

During a beer tasting at Tøsse Brygghus, you will be served a selection of unique beers, accompanied by cured sausages from the goat farm in Tyssefjella – made from goats that have, of course, been fed with oat flour from Tøsse’s own mill. The brewery can accommodate groups of up to 60 people.
Feel free to combine a tour with great hiking experiences in Tyssefjella or an overnight stay at Fjordslottet Hotell, just 10 minutes away.
