Message t0rin0 P beers 102 º places 1528 º 11:25 Tue 7/21/2015 Soon to open in Longyearbyen, Norway, which appears to be a small mining town on the island of Spitsbergen. It’s on the 78th parallel north. http://munchies.vice.com/articles/this-man-is-building-the-worlds-most-northern-brewery?utm_source=munchiesfbuk http://svalbardbryggeri.com/
Message phaleslu P admin beers 16534 º places 792 º 11:31 Tue 7/21/2015 That’s awesome. Spitsbergen is home to many of the "World’s Northernmost" records. Glad they’re adding this to the list.
Message jackl beers 8677 º places 740 º 11:36 Tue 7/21/2015 Pretty cool stuff. ISO! I would’ve thought that it’d be prohibitively expensive to brew up there. Best of luck to them.
Message Travlr beers 33887 º places 4583 º 11:41 Tue 7/21/2015 maybe they’ll make ice bocks. and smoked whale testes beers.

Message bartlebier beers 4526 º places 177 º 11:56 Tue 7/21/2015 Most Northern self-dubbed "Trappist" brewed "Trippel" as well, by the looks of that bottle pic. Maybe they can act as a trappist monk hatchery up there to supply their southern brethren with fresh Nordic blood.

Message Travlr beers 33887 º places 4583 º 12:35 Tue 7/21/2015 I’m not aware of blubber beers or tongue beers, just testes beers and anal gland beers. But, no reason they couldn’t be done. I’d also put the lips and the dorsal fins in play. and maybe the blowholes.

Message omhper P beers 40214 º places 332 º 15:41 Tue 7/21/2015 This is however the 2nd brewery to start in Svalbard. Barentsburg Brewery in the Russian mining town is however slightly to the south of Longyearbyen.
