First Icelandic craft beer arrives in US

Rebecca Prescott25 Jan 2012

Einstök Ölgerd, an Icelandic craft brewery, has confirmed that the first shipment of its unique ales has landed in the US.

Initially, an Icelandic White Ale, Pale Ale and Toasted Porter will be distributed in California in a partnership with Wine Warehouse, one of the largest distributors in the US.

The water starts as rain or ancient glacial water from atop the Hlíðarfjall Mountain, from where it flows through and is naturally purified by ancient lava fields. From there, brewmaster Baldur Karrason unites it with ingredients sourced both locally from Iceland and from all over the world to deliver craft beer that is distinct, the company said.

The current product line will consist of three styles that offer a variety of colour and flavour.
