The Foss Brewery was a brewery in Oslo. The company was started in 1836 as the Ytteborg Brewery and was located on Hausmanns gate. In the 19th century, the water in the lower part of the Aker River became too contaminated to brew beer, and the brewery needed more space. Therefore in 1897 the brewery relocated to new premises further upriver, above the town's Grünerløkka district at Upper Falls —one of two waterfalls forming Vøyen Falls. The company also changed its name to Foss Bryggeri to reflect the new location.
