Føroya Bjór

Føroya Bjór is the oldest brewery in the Faroe Islands and an important part of Faroese food and drink culture. The family-owned brewery is located in Klaksvík and has produced beverages for well over a century.

The company was founded in 1888 by the entrepreneur Símun í Vági. After learning the craft of brewing abroad, he returned to the Faroe Islands and started brewing beer locally. This marked the beginning of a long brewing tradition that still continues today.

A Family Tradition

Føroya Bjór has remained a family-run business for generations. Over the years, the company has grown from a small local brewery into a modern beverage producer. The Waag family has played a key role in developing the brewery while preserving its traditions and commitment to quality.

Today, Føroya Bjór produces a wide range of beverages. In addition to beer, the company also produces soft drinks and other refreshments that are sold throughout the Faroe Islands and exported to other countries.

Faroese Brewing Heritage

Throughout its long history, Føroya Bjór has helped shape the brewing culture of the Faroe Islands. The brewery combines traditional craftsmanship with modern production methods. As a result, it continues to create products that reflect both heritage and innovation.

The brewery produces several well-known Faroese beers, including Gull, Veðrur, Black Sheep, and seasonal brews such as Christmas beer.

A Proud Faroese Brand

The ram has long been the symbol of Føroya Bjór and represents strength, tradition, and Faroese identity. Over time, the brewery has become a well-known name across the Faroe Islands.

Today, Føroya Bjór continues to build on its long history while developing new products. At the same time, it remains a proud symbol of Faroese craftsmanship and tradition.
