Bruggsmiðjan offers guided tours around the brewery and according to Ólafur Þröstur they receive around eight to ten thousand guests annually. The tour, which lasts about an hour, begins with a taste of the brewery‘s products, then the guide will explain the brewing techniques and give an introduction to the factory‘s history. „Most of our guests are Icelandic, German, Danish and English.
