Drink Beer at Ölgerðin Brewery, Iceland
The Olgerdin Egill Skallagrímsson Brewery is an Icelandic brewery and beverage company that is based in Reykjavík. Established in 17 April 1913, it is one of the oldest and largest companies in Iceland. The brewery is Iceland's oldest, yet you'll find the renovated site to be stylishly modern.
The brewery is located in the east part of the city. They have won numerous international awards for our beers. These include Gull being named "World's Best Standard Lager″ at the World Beer Awards 2011, and Brio beer winning gold at the prestigious 2012 World Beer Cup for best German-style Pilsner.
Iceland was one of many Nordic countries where alcohol prohibition was enforced in the early 1900s, and you'll hear plenty about this fascinating era on your Reykjavik brewery tour. Beer was totally banned in the country until as recently as 1989, but the Icelandic drinkers of the time created an interesting beer substitute that you can sample before your guided tour ends.
