Aegir Bryggeri Brewery Showcase

Overview

A hard-earned thirst needs a big cold beer, a particular advertising campaign has told drinkers for decades. On January 11, satisfy your hankering for a beverage with an icy pint from a place that knows all about the big cold — yep, Bloodhound Bar are showcasing Ægir Bryggeri, one of Norway's finest.

Ten different brews will be available, either separately or in paddles for those wanting to try quite a few. They're calling it a ten-tap takeover, with the likes of Rallar (amber ale), Witbier, Bæver (a double white IPA, made in collaboration with Beavertown, UK) and Tors Hammer (barley wine) on offer. We're calling it travelling to Scandinavia without leaving Fortitude Valley.

Haven't heard of Ægir Bryggeri? Here's a primer: they hail from the town of Flåm about five hours north-west of Oslo, and their Norse Viking style brewpub is nestled into the famous Flåmsbrygga Hotel. In fact, they're part of one of the area's biggest attractions — partly because they make mighty fine, award-winning beer; and partly because their building includes dragon heads and a nine-metre chimney.
