Tour Iceland's most remote and characterful craft brewery, where geothermal water and volcanic island spirit produce award-winning ales. With a 4.8-star rating, this is Heimaey's most beloved hidden gem — and an utterly unique tasting experience.
What to expect
The brewery is a relaxed, welcoming space where the brothers (or their team) guide you through a curated flight of their beers — from crisp lagers to robust dark ales — explaining how island life, volcanic geology, and Icelandic ingredients inform each recipe. The setting is wonderfully unpretentious, yet the product is seriously crafted. Pair your tasting with locally sourced snacks and leave with a bottle or two to remember the island by.
Good to know
The brewery is within easy walking distance of the harbour. For a private or reserved group experience, contact the brewery directly well in advance of your port call — walk-in availability on cruise days can be limited. An ideal mid-afternoon stop between a morning volcano hike and returning to the ship. Minimum age for tasting is 20 (Icelandic law).
