Fredrikstad Bryggeri

Last updated

Fredrikstad Bryggeri, formerly Fredriksstad Bryggeri, was a brewery based in Fredrikstad, Norway, operating between 1877 and 2001.

It was established on 12 June 1877, mainly backed by the city's timber merchant capital. Carl Johan Kiønig was the first managing director, serving until 1921, and Mads Wiel Stang the first chairman. [1] [2] [3]

In 1980, Fredrikstad Bryggeri bought out its competitor in Fredrikstad, Brynildsen, where soft drink production ceased. Fredrikstad Bryggeri's competitor in the neighboring city Sarpsborg, Borg Bryggerier, was also a party in the acquisition, and there were talks about merging the remaining breweries. [4] In 1989 Fredrikstad Bryggeri was merged with Borg. The brewery itself continued to produce beer until it too was closed in 2001. [5] [6] [7] [8] The brand Fredrikstad Bryggeri was still used for a pilsener beer and a Christmas beer, but would be produced at Borg in Sarpsborg. [3]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Beer in Norway</span>

Beer in Norway has a long history, stretching back more than a millennium. Until some 200 years ago, most farms where it was possible to grow grain south of the Arctic Circle, brewed their own beer. From the early 20th century brewing was industrialized and home brewing was restricted. Significant consolidation in the brewing sector reduced the number of major breweries to just a handful. With the exception of the farmhouse ales, most beer styles brewed in Norway trace their ancestry to central Europe.
