Einstok Olgerd is in the fishing port of Akureyri in North Iceland. Its beers include White Ale, Arctic Pale Ale, Toasted Porter, Wee Heavy, and Arctic Lager.
Where Einstok is brewed
Einstok says its brewing water flows from rain and prehistoric glaciers down Hlidarfjall mountain and through ancient lava fields. Einstok also says the glacier water it brews with comes out of any tap in Akureyri.
Einstok White Ale is sold at Vinbudin, the state alcohol retailer. Einstok Olgerd is listed as the producer, and Coca-Cola Europacific Partners is listed as the supplier.
