Föroya Bjór
Föroya Bjór ( brand name , in the Faroese written language often also: Føroya Bjór "Beer of the Faroe Islands") is the largest brewery in the Faroe Islands and is located in Klaksvík .
The word bjór for beer in Faroese only occurs in this brand name. Otherwise, ie beer, as in all other Scandinavian languages øl . Anyone who orders one / two / three bottle (s) of Föroya Bjór in the Faroe Islands says: "eina / tvær / tríggjar øl", if there is no other brand on offer.
The brewery was founded in 1888 by Símun í Vági (1863–1935). Símun's son Einar Fróvin Waag (1894–1989) became his successor, and now it is his son Einar Waag junior who runs the company together with his brother.
Föroya Bjór is available in eleven different types, with the most common type being the light beer ( Ljóst Pilsnar ) with 2.7% alcohol. There is also a Pilsener , an export beer ( Gull ), a stout ( Portari ), a lager ( Black Sheep ) and a malt beer . On December 14, 2006, the naturally cloudy Rock All wheat beer , named after the island of Rockall , was presented.
In addition to the beer range, the company sells a Cola Jolly and other lemonades , as well as a cider under the Nordic Cider brand .
Outside of the Faroe Islands, Föroya Bjór is only found sporadically, mostly in meeting places for Faroese people in Denmark or, more rarely, in bars on Iceland or mainland Europe. Nevertheless, Föroya Bjór regularly wins Danish beer prizes and is also considered an excellent beer among German connoisseurs. This is explained, among other things, with the quality of the Faroese brewing water .
