Mývatn Öl is the subject of this guide. The sections cover its brewing, named beers, brewery tour, alcohol rules, and place in the wider Lake Mývatn area.

A brewery by Lake Mývatn

Mývatn Öl lists that it began brewing in early 2022. This date comes from the brewery’s own description of its brewing history.

The beers

Mývatn Öl names three of its beers: Vindbelgur IPA, Skútinn IPA, and Dimmuborgir Porter. These are the beer names listed by the brewery, with two IPAs and a porter in the group.

Visiting the brewery

A guided brewery and tasting tour, booked through Mývatn Öl, departs from the hotel reception at Sel-Hótel Mývatn. The tour therefore combines a brewery visit with a tasting and has its stated departure point at the hotel reception.

Drinking age and buying alcohol

Icelandic law makes it unlawful to sell, serve or hand over alcohol to anyone younger than 20 years of age; the rules are in the guide to buying alcohol in Iceland.
