Microbreweries in Oslo

Ringnes Brygghus

Located right above the trendy Grünerløkka neighbourhood in Ringnes Brewery's former premises from the 19th century, Ringnes Brygghus offers historical insight into Oslo's beer history. More importantly, you also get to sample a large assortment of beers. They offer newly developed beer varieties in addition to the classics. You can also enjoy tasty Neapolitan pizza here, along with the beer.

The pleasant interior with brown leather sofas and long wooden tables, makes this an exciting place to enjoy a cold one with some friends.

Crow Bryggeri

Crowbar is a two-storied bar in Torggata, serving a plethora of beers, served from thousand-litre tanks to keep it cold. Crowbar’s cozy interior and atmosphere can remind you of an old-timey inn from an ancient fairy-tale, and the bar’s mascot, the crow hanging outside of the bar, definitely contributes to that.

Crowbar offers a lot of great food as well, such as swine kebabs, falafels and even a whole suckling pig(!).

RØØR

RØØR is one of the biggest microbrew bars in the city, and closer to the city centre than most others. Located in Rosenkratz’ gate, RØØR is two floors of beer, shuffleboards, a stage and music exclusively played on vinyl.

Not many bars can match RØØR’s beer selection, with over 70 beers on tap, so you’re pretty much guaranteed to taste something you’ve never tried before.

Schouskjelleren Mikrobryggeri

Schouskjelleren (The Schous Cellar) resembles a German beer hall rather than a traditional Norwegian pub, with its massive fireplace and vaulted brick ceiling. Schouskjelleren is located in a historic area, in the cellar of the old Schous brewery, and is Oslo’s second oldest microbrewery.

You can also book a beer-tasting session at Schouskjelleren, a perfect activity to do with a group of friends or colleagues.

Oslo Mikrobryggeri

Oslo Microbrewery is the oldest Scandinavian bar to also brew its own beer. Oslo Microbrewery opened in Bogstadveien in 1989, and was the first bar to introduce (then) unknown types of beer like Pale Ale, IPA, Porter and Stout to Norwegians. Their selection is just as great today!

Grünerløkka Brygghus

The artisanal brewery Grünerløkka Brygghus opened its doors in 2013, and have over 20 types of beer on tap. Most are their own brews, but you will also find some other brands both local and international. With the beer, enjoy classic pub food and traditional Norwegian food. You might even get to hear some live music.

This brewery is also known for its beer festival, Oslo Mikrobryggfestival, an intimate backyard festival where you can explore the wide variety of microbrewery beers of Oslo. The festival is organised once every summer, and has something to offer for people of all tastes and knowledge levels.

Amundsen Bryggeri og Spiseri

A true beer heaven, with both an in-house microbrewery and large selection of beer from all over the world. Hungry guests may enjoy pub food especially chosen for its suitability with beer.

Amundsen is an excellent place to wind down with friends and colleagues. And for real enthusiasts, try a guided tour of the brewery!

In the summer season, outdoor seating makes it possible to enjoy your beer while playing pétanque with a view of the magnificent Oslo City Hall.
