Hólar Town a small village in the Hjaltadalur valley, hosted its annual craft beer festival last weekend. Guests attending the event crowned Garún Icelandic Stout this year's festival winner.
After sampling a number of different craft beers from all over Iceland, the beer from Borg brugghús brewery took home the victory, followed closely by runner-up Ship-o-hoj from Ölvisholt brewery, and third place, Viking Einstök brewery for Arctic-Berry- Ale.
The winner, Garún, is named for the strong and brave heroine of one of Iceland's most popular folktales The deacon of Dark River (Myrká).
Garún is 11.5% alcohol by volume with a dark aura of intense richness and haunting aroma with notes of chocolate, licorice and coffee.
