Story of Ægir

From Norse mythology to brewery in Flåm

Ægir is referred to in Norse mythology as a jotne. He is the brother of Wind and Fire and is the ruler of the sea. Ægir´s hall is not lit by fire, but by the brightest gold. Every year he invites the Aesir to a feast of food and drink in his banquet hall, Brime. Here, the beer and food serve themselves and the drinking horns fill themselves. Ægir brews, according to Odin, the best beer. It is brewed in the largest brewing vessel in the world, a mile deep. In Ægir 's hall, the gods had to keep the peace with each other and anyone who caused trouble was banished forever.

With Ægir as the example was Ægir Brewery developed with associated taproom in his name. The brewery opened in June 2007 and has been very successful. The beer is also available at many sales and taprooms in Norway. The philosophy is that people should be able to choose between different types of beer on the same level as with wine. For this reason, we offer Ægir Many types of beer in the selection, both top- and bottom-fermented beer types.

American brewer Evan Lewis has, through many years of both home brewing and formal education, created his own versions of exciting and familiar beer types. He and his team draw inspiration from microbreweries internationally, not least from the USA, to develop new beers.
