Svalbard Brewery
Svalbard Bryggeri
The northernmost brewery in the world. It brews beer with glacial meltwater and offers tours and tastings that must be booked in advance.
The brewery opened in 2015, after one of its founders spent several years lobbying to change the law that banned brewing in Svalbard. The beer is brewed with glacial meltwater that is two thousand years old and comes in several styles, including lager, IPA and stout, available at restaurants around town. The guided tasting tour takes about 1 hour, covering the brewing story and several tastings, and must be booked in advance. Note that alcohol purchases in Svalbard are subject to a quota system.
