There are still places on Earth untouched by time—vast, sunless, ice-covered deserts where sub-zero temperatures push the limits of survival.

In Svalbard, survival depends on courage and adaptability—qualities that define this extraordinary place. As the northernmost inhabited island on Earth, Svalbard serves as a final refuge for some of the planet’s toughest wildlife.

It offers a unique experience where humans and animals coexist in mutual respect for the raw, unforgiving power of nature.

A frozen oasis for those daring enough to challenge nature’s limits and embrace its awe-inspiring beauty.
This breathtaking Arctic landscape is our inspiration.
Here, at the top of the world, we founded our brewery, crafting each beer shaped by the extraordinary environment around us—a taste born of the unimaginable.

It’s human nature to seek the unknown—solving the unsolvable, creating the unprecedented, and striving for the unattainable. This spirit of exploration inspired the bold idea to establish a brewery in Longyearbyen in 2009.

Fueled by courage and determination, it was a vision to achieve what no one had dared before—a dream where conviction triumphed over doubt, turning the impossible into reality.

Four years later, that dream became a reality. In 2015, the first brew from Svalbard Bryggeri hit store shelves and local bars, marking the beginning of a new chapter in Arctic brewing.

Today, our beer is enjoyed by adventurers, locals, and beer enthusiasts from around the world, each sip reflecting the essence of resilience and innovation.

At Svalbard Bryggeri, we are more than a brewery—we are a beacon at the top of the world, a testament to resilience, innovation, and a commitment to forging a sustainable future. Once a remote outpost for polar explorers and hunters, Svalbard has transformed into a global hub for cutting-edge research, bringing together scientists and visionaries from around the world.

Here, on the edge of the Arctic, vital discoveries are reshaping how we understand climate change and harnessing space technology to guide smarter decisions for a better tomorrow.

Our beer is more than just a beverage; it’s a message in a bottle—or a can—inviting you to connect with the beauty and fragility of this extraordinary region.
By sharing the essence of Svalbard, we aim to raise awareness about this unique corner of the world, inspiring admiration and a commitment to protect it. After all, true progress is grounded in humility and a deep respect for nature.

At Svalbard Bryggeri, we’re redefining sustainability in one of the world’s most challenging environments. By burning production waste, we generate our own energy, with the excess used to heat water in the brewery. As trailblazers in circular economy practices, we continuously push the boundaries of innovation.

Living on Svalbard requires importing all goods, food, and materials by air or sea. We maximize this transport by using the return journey to ship our beer to the mainland—without consuming additional energy. Additionally, we’ve slashed our CO2 usage by 80% in recent years by replacing CO2 with nitrogen.

Brewing beer in such a harsh and unforgiving environment is an achievement like no other. It stands as proof that determination and creativity can transform challenges into opportunities where others see only limitations.

That’s why the beer from Svalbard Bryggeri is truly one of a kind, unmatched anywhere in the world.
