There are more beery pleasures next year than the Mikkeller event in Copenhagen. I have complained about the quality of some festivals here in Norway recently, but I am happy to tell you there are others more concerned about quality.
Haandbryggeriet have just finished moving to new and bigger premises in Drammen, half an hour west of Oslo by train.This means more capacity and more elbow room than the old facility was able to offer.
This calls for a celebration, but they have decided to wait some months for this. 4-5 May are the dates to note in your calendar.
They have invited some of their friends, and they have promised to bring along a few beers. Confirmed so far:
- Närke
- Nøgne Ø
- Kinn
- De Molen
- Struise
- Emelisse
- Alvinne
- LoverBeer
No details about tickets and other practicalities yet, but I’ll keep you informed.


I`m really looking forward to seeing the brewery! And, of course to the festival aswell!
