Here Come the Vikings!

The country badge for Norway. Have 5 Norwegian beers to earn this badge.Vikings

Like in many countries, the beer market in Norway is dominated by only two main players. The international Carlsburg group and the local Hansa Borg Bryggerier.

Any beer that is above 4.75% ABV can only be sold through the state owned liquor stores, which means many international brands produce a lower percentage version of their flagship beers for sale in Norwegian supermarkets.

Norway arrived relatively late to the craft beer movement but already has several notable breweries. Look out for Ægir Bryggeri, Kinn Bryggeri or Lervig Aktiebryggeri.
