Lervig Craft Beer

In Stavanger, the oil city on Norway's west coast, Lervig started as a small local brewery in 2003. Two decades later, they brew over 200 different beer styles and export around the world. It's proof that a brewery can grow from neighbourhood favourite to global player without losing its appetite for experimentation.

  • Bottle of Lervig 3 Bean Stout, imperial stout, 33 cl
    Item no.: 22227865427-20215

    Three kinds of beans, one heavy stout - Lervig from Stavanger has built 3 Bean Stout around a simple idea: coffee shouldn't just sit on top of the beer, it should be part of its backbone.

    Expert description of Lervig 3 Bean Stout

    Lervig is one of Norway's most acclaimed breweries, known for an experimental approach to especially strong stouts. 3 Bean Stout is the brewery's take on an imperial stout, where the name refers to the use of three different coffee beans in the brewing process. At 12% ABV, it is a powerful beer offering marked depth and complexity.

    The roasted malt base provides a solid foundation of dark chocolate and roasted grain, while the three coffee varieties layer on further dimensions of coffee character - from bright, tart fruitiness to deep, bitter roast. The result is a full, intense stout built for slow enjoyment.

    Tasting Notes

    Aroma

    Roasted coffee and dark chocolate, with deep notes of roasted malt.

    Taste

    Layers of coffee from the three bean varieties, dark chocolate and a solid malt sweetness.

    Finish

    Long and bitter with lingering coffee notes.

  • Dark beer bottle with Lervig Fable By Rackhouse Imperial Stout
    Item no.: 220322-5045

    In the dark beneath Lervig's brewhouse in Stavanger, some barrels rest longer than others. Fable is one of them - allowed to sit year after year, while the port and bourbon slowly write themselves into the beer. This isn't a beer you rush through. It's a beer you listen to.

    Expert description of Lervig Fable By Rackhouse Imperial Stout

    Fable is part of Lervig's Rackhouse series, where the Stavanger brewery indulges its passion for barrel ageing to the fullest. The base is a powerful Imperial Stout, which has then rested for a full three years in the dark - first in port wine barrels from Portugal, then in bourbon barrels from Kentucky. The two barrel types meet and merge in the beer, and the result is a deep, complex stout carrying traits of both worlds: the port's sweet, winey depth and the bourbon's warm, smoky sweetness.

    Rackhouse is Lervig's dedicated line for barrel-aged beers, where time and wood are just as important ingredients as malt and hops. Fable is among the more ambitious releases in the series - a beer that takes patience to brew, and rewards the same patience in whoever drinks it.

    Tasting Notes

    Aroma

    Dark chocolate and stewed fruit greet you first, with a sweet, almost syrupy aroma of port. Beneath it lies vanilla from the bourbon barrels, soft and round, together with a hint of oak.

    Taste

    Full-bodied and dessert-like, with dark chocolate up front followed by stewed fruit and a warm, port-like sweetness. The bourbon gives the beer body and a lightly smoky caramel note that ties it all together.

    Finish

    Long and soft, with a finish of vanilla, dark chocolate and a final hint of red-wine-like fruit sweetness that lingers.

    From Stavanger comes Lervig's Foeder series - beer aged in large wooden vessels, where time and fruit are allowed to leave their mark.

    Expert description of Lervig Foeder Abricots

    Lervig Foeder Abricots is a Norwegian specialty beer from the brewery Lervig in Stavanger, part of the brewery's Foeder series, where the beer is aged in large wooden vessels (foeders) together with apricots. Lervig is Norway's largest independent microbrewery, known for spanning everything from accessible pilsners to complex barrel-aged sours.

    The apricots add a tart fruitiness that plays against the character given by the barrel ageing, resulting in a beer with both depth and fresh acidity.

    Tasting Notes

    Aroma

    Ripe apricot and a hint of wood.

    Taste

    Tart apricot fruitiness, balanced by the character of the barrel.

    Finish

    Fresh and tart, with a lightly dry finish.

  • Bottle of Lervig Konrads Stout, 33 cl
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-1972508

    From Stavanger comes a stout that doesn't try to be extreme for the sake of it - Konrads is Lervig's take on a classic stout with a Scandinavian touch, where softness is the keyword.

    Expert description of Lervig Konrads Stout

    This craft beer from Lervig is a perfect combination of the brewery's classic stout tradition with a Scandinavian touch. Konrads is brewed with a large proportion of dark malt and the right water chemistry to achieve the perfect, soft mouthfeel with notes of liquorice and coffee.

    At 10.4% ABV, it is a powerful stout, but the focus lies on texture and balance rather than pure strength. That makes Konrads a stout that appeals broadly to both newcomers and experienced stout lovers who appreciate a softer, more rounded style.

    Tasting Notes

    Aroma

    Liquorice and coffee, with a deep, dark malt character.

    Taste

    Soft and round with liquorice, coffee and a solid malt sweetness.

    Finish

    Soft and lightly bitter with lingering coffee notes.

    Did You Know?

    Lervig places great emphasis on water chemistry when brewing Konrads, which is one of the secrets behind the characteristically soft mouthfeel that sets it apart from sharper, more bitter stouts.

  • Dark beer bottle with Lervig Off The Rack Finnish Rye Whisky 2024
    Item no.: 22197280322-5044

    An emptied whisky barrel is never quite empty. There's always something left in the wood - rye, fire, a little caramel from the last round - and that's the residue Lervig chases when they fill their darkest beer into used barrels and let time do the rest.

    Expert description of Lervig Off The Rack Finnish Rye Whisky By Rackhouse

    Off The Rack is Lervig's barrel-ageing series under the Rackhouse programme. The Stavanger brewery takes their most powerful beer and puts it into freshly emptied spirit barrels, and this release is the second chapter in the line, aged on Finnish rye whisky barrels. The base is an Imperial Stout brewed on water, barley, oats, hops and yeast, and the beer has spent 20 months on the barrels - long enough for both the rye's spiced character and the whisky's spirit notes to settle into the beer.

    It's a single batch. Once it's sold, it won't come again. Lervig has marked it vegan, so no animal-derived fining agents are involved.

    Tasting Notes

    Aroma

    Dark cocoa and roasted malt first, then a mild tobacco note, and behind it all lies the rye whisky - warm, spiced, a hint of oak.

    Taste

    Heavy and full. Cocoa and dark chocolate carry it all, while the rye's spiced character meets a distinct spirit warmth from the barrels. It's balanced enough that the malt can still shine through.

    Finish

    Long and dry, with tobacco and a final hint of whisky oak that lingers long after the last sip.

The Norwegian brewery Lervig has assembled an exciting range of specialty beers, so there's something for every taste and occasion, from easy-drinking pilsner and pale ale to barrel-aged sours. For the newcomer, the breadth of the range is a great way to explore styles you don't yet know; for the connoisseur, Lervig is interesting as one of the Nordics' most acclaimed craft breweries, regularly collaborating with international breweries on limited-edition releases, making several bottles genuine chase items among beer collectors.

History & Background

Lervig Aktiebryggeri was founded in 2003 when production of the local Tou beer was moved to Oslo by Carlsberg, prompting fund manager Kristoffer Stensrud to start his own brewery in response. From 2003 to 2005 the beer was produced by Macks Ølbryggeri in Tromsø, after which production moved to Hillevåg in Stavanger. In 2010 the brewery hired American brewmaster Mike Murphy, who set a course towards craft beer and introduced American-inspired techniques such as aggressive dry-hopping and barrel ageing.

Production & Style

Lervig produces everything from easy-drinking pilsners to complex barrel-aged stouts, barley wines, and sour beers, with a strong focus on hop-driven styles that have made the brewery a pioneer in Scandinavia.

Signature Style

Hoppy, Complex, Experimental
Flavour varies widely by series, but a shared craft identity and experimental approach to taste runs through it all.
