Reykjavik is famous for its vibrant nightlife. There are loads of places that play all the latest music loud. They are filled with trendy people having the time of their life. I, however, absolutely detest this. Loud nightclubs and bars are just annoying to me, and I dislike intensely being around many drunk people. I want to sit down with a nice beer and have an intelligent conversation. Fortunately, a few bars in central Reykjavik are close to each other and combine beer from microbreweries and a cozy atmosphere. Yes, I am a terrible snob and heavily into micro-brewed beer. And for a country that banned beer until 1989, yes, you read that correctly, Iceland has fantastic beer. And I only want the best beer in Reykjavik.
These are the places that have the best beer in Reykjavik
I want to recommend the following places for their great beer: Session Craft Bar, Skúli Craft Bar, and Brewdog, both in the center of Reykjavik.
What I like about these places is their great selection of quality beers. They also have a great ambiance. The choice of beers at Skúli Craft bar is somewhat changeable, so I suggest you check out their Facebook page or visit them. You can always taste the beer before you buy it anyway. But I think Brewdog, an international brand, probably has the same selection in Reykjavik as they do around the world. Session Craft Bar lists its selection of beer on its website. Kudos to them
Reykjavik beer tours
Reykjavik has a great selection of beer-themed tours. And if you are traveling in the north, you can check out the beer spa!
My favorite Icelandic beer
My favorite Icelandic beers at the moment are Bóndi, Úlfur, Úlfur Úlfur double IPA, Vking Red IPA and Kaldi IPA. If you like IPA beers as I do, I wager you will love them all. Other noteworthy Icelandic beers are regular Kaldi, a nice lager brewed in the Czech tradition, and Viking Pils Organic. It is smooth and refreshing. Perfect to accompany a good burger, Mexican food, or Indian food.
Buy Icelandic beer online
