LERVIG has gradually evolved into a leading craft brewery in Norway and Europe. The brewery has gone from being established as a reaction to the loss of the local brewery Tou (now owned by Carlsberg co.), to becoming an internationally recognised brewery that extends far beyond Norway's borders. Since it opened in 2003, around 200 different beers have been brewed at LERVIG, focusing on innovation and pushing boundaries for what beer can be. Today, our range is between 25-30 different beers, with everything from traditional Pilsner and fruity IPA to full-bodied barrel-aged stouts.
LERVIG is located in Hillevåg, Stavanger. It's possible to book a private tour at the brewery in the evening, both on weekdays and weekends - for groups of at least 10 people. They also organise a short production tour during office hours for small groups. Contact them at tour@lervig.no
