Dokkan Brugghús: Westfjords Craft Beer Tasting & Town Exploration

Raise a glass in Iceland's most remote craft brewery — a beloved Ísafjörður institution where small-batch Westfjords ales are brewed and poured in a characterful harbourfront setting. The perfect final act for a day of wild Arctic scenery.

What to expect

Tucked into the heart of Ísafjörður's compact, walkable town centre — minutes from the cruise pier — Dokkan Brugghús pours a rotating selection of small-batch ales inspired by the Arctic landscape: crisp pale ales, smoky porters, and seasonal specials. The taproom's warmth and laid-back conviviality contrast beautifully with the raw fjord drama outside. Pair your tasting flight with locally sourced bar snacks, chat with the brewer if they're around, and soak up the genuine community atmosphere of Iceland's most remote brewing outpost. A private tasting with a guided beer-and-food pairing can be arranged for small luxury groups.

Good to know

Open from late morning on cruise days.
