Private 3-Hour Microbrewery, Distillery, and Beer Tasting Tour from Reykjavik

Discover the history of one of Iceland's most celebrated drinks on this private trip to a microbrewery and distillery in Reykjavik. This three-hour adventure takes your personal group to the Malbygg Microbrewery and RVK Brewing to learn about Icelandic craft beer's beginnings and processes before sampling some of the finest flavors on site.

The action begins when a friendly local guide picks you up from your Reykjavik accommodation. You'll then ride in a comfortable car to two of Iceland's most respected craft beer makers. Craft beer has significantly impacted Iceland's culture and economy over the past decade.

The country, which is known for its stunning landscapes and rich history, has seen a surge in the popularity of locally brewed craft beers.

Interestingly, this trend has reshaped Iceland's social scene, with new microbreweries popping up across the island, each offering unique and innovative brews that reflect Iceland's distinct flavors and traditions. Today, your first stop will be Malbygg Microbrewery.

Established in 2017, Malbygg Microbrewery has become synonymous with high-quality, flavorful beers that reflect local and international influences.

The guide will give you a background on Iceland's brewing history as you enter the brewery. Then, the guide will take you around the facility to see the different machines and equipment Malbygg Microbrewery uses to create its fine-tasting beers. Interestingly, the owners of Malbygg Microbrewery have stated that they focus on making beers they want to drink.

Malbygg Microbrewery specializes in hoppy beers but also brews stouts, wild/sour ales, and kettle-soured beers. You can sample beer from its taproom selection to cap off your visit.

The tour continues with a visit to Reykjavik Brewing Company (RVK Brewing), one of Iceland's first independent craft breweries. Also established in 2017, RVK Brewing has since created over 200 recipes, ranging from the conventional to the unconventional taste of craft beers.

Like in Malbygg Microbrewery, the guide will show you around RVK Brewing and show you how they make their beers.

You'll see their brewing equipment and learn about the ingredients they use. In addition, you'll get to taste some of their best craft beer creations from their taproom.

The tour includes seeing the brewing equipment and tasting the finished products. It also gives you an idea of the challenges brewing companies face. Considering how harsh Iceland's climate can be, this is a fascinating element to learn about.

At the end of the tour, you'll return to your comfortable vehicle and travel back to your hotel in Reykjavik. This private tour is a Don'tstic bonding experience for your group and perfect predrinks for a night out in Iceland's capital.
