From the incredible western fjords to the heart of Norway's capital, Norwegians know how to enjoy a good beer. It's the national beverage, after all! (For those who thought it was aquavit, sorry to disappoint). Paired with something to nibble on, it's the perfect way to enjoy an afternoon (that's if you like beer, of course!). Our Oslo Craft Beer Tour is a tasting adventure in and around the bohemian and trendy district of Grünerløkka. It's no coincidence that this is where the tour takes place, as Oslo's first brewery was founded here at the beginning of the 1800s.
Together with your guide, a beer enthusiast, embark on a journey that will take you to a microbrewery in Oslo. While sipping on a sample of the country's favourite drink, learn about some of the best "øl" (beer) offered by Norway's capital, exciting facts about the art of brewing in Norway, and stories about Grünerløkka.
From the Middle Ages with the flourishing production of beer to how beer heritage was affected by the appearance of liquors, how the religious authorities tried limiting alcohol consumption, and the story behind Norway's Vinmonopolet system, we'll cover it all. We'll even get some tasty stories regarding Norway's current beer culture (and food culture, of course)!
Join us on a cheery and tasty walk through some of the loveliest streets of Oslo. Enter the most iconic taverns of Grünerløkka and discover one of the pillars of Norway's terroir and tales of Norwegian's national beverage. In other words, channel your inner Viking, raise your glass and cheer with us: skål!
