Stand at any bar in Tromsø and you’re sure to see this brand on the taps.

Founded by Ludwig Markus Mack, the son of a German immigrant in 1877, this treasured brand has stayed independent all this time.

Until recently Macks was the northernmost brewery in the world before being usurped by Svalbard Bryggeri in 2015. Monday to Friday you can come for an hour-long tour, watching a video, seeing the stainless steel fermentation tanks, while learning about the process and the history of the brand.
