Nøgne Ø

Nøgne Ø was among Norway's first craft beer producers. It was started in a garage in Bergermoen in Grimstad in 2002. The company moved to the Old Rygene Power Station in 2005 and in 2016 a new brewery building was put into use next door. Nøgne Ø has been ranked among the world's 100 best breweries (ratebeer.com) for many years and has won hundreds of medals and awards. The company brews around 20 regular beers and 25-30 new beers every year, with a barrel aging program of around 240 oak barrels.

Nøgne Ø was started in a garage in Bergermoen in Grimstad in 2002. The following years were characterized by volunteer work, slow sales and little attention to craft beer, and it took a few years before Nøgne Ø could stand on its own two feet. In 2005 we moved to the Old Rygene Power Station and in 2016 the new brewery building was put into use, next door to the Old Rygene Power Station. And still in Grimstad.
