Bryggjan Brugghus brews various beers on-site, including IPAs, lagers, pale ales, and seasonal beers. They have 12 craft beers on tap, which you can taste.

Some beers change with the seasons, and others evolve as the brewers perfect their craft by tweaking the beer-making process or ingredients. Whichever beers you try, you can expect a tasty experience reflecting the creativity, care, and time that goes into every brew.

Bryggjan Brugghus’s lager is made with German yeast, Czech Saaz, and German Magnum hops to create a classic 5% ABV beer. Their American pale ale uses Amarillo, Cascade, Centennial, and Columbus hops, producing a fruity flavor and a 5.2% ABV brew.

Whether you visit at Christmas, Easter, or another time of year, you’ll also find special beers that vary with the seasons and events. Jola, a seasonal Christmas beer, and Omnom, a stout made with the flavors of a local chocolate business, are two examples of the unique flavors crafted by Bryggjan Brugghus’s experienced brewers.

After your educational and enjoyable tour, you can continue your day in Reykjavik. Some may stay longer at Bryggjan Brugghus, indulging in their favorite beers and soaking up the welcoming atmosphere.
