- Skapelsen av stor smak
En Liten Øl
In the south-west of Norway lies Sunnhordland, a fertile coastal district whose unique geological diversity of rocks and minerals has been shaped over time to a natural beauty by ice, water and weather. Here, hard-working people enjoy their well-earned leisure with quality foods and drinks.
En Liten Øl is an innovative craft brewery located in Port Steingard in Fitjar. Our award-winning beer is founded upon first-class natural ingredients and superior craftsmanship, made at the optimal temperatures and over sufficient time.
Our Beers
We are excited to present our new staple beers redesigned with brand new packaging. The transition from glass to aluminum is already well underway and soon all of our classics will be available in aluminum can packaging. With this change, Topas and Marmor get a whole new look. Our non-alcoholic alternative Kråkesølv, however, will still be sold in glass bottles.
By transitioning from glass bottles to aluminum cans, we contribute to a reduction of the environmental impact. Reducing the packaging volume significantly lowers the costs associated with transport and recycling, and contributes to smoother logistical operations by consuming less overall space. Furthermore, cans are superior at preserving the quality of the beer, when compared to bottled beer. Going forward, all of our staple beers will be subject to deposit refund programs of Infinitum. For these reasons, we think this change will prove to be beneficial not just for the customer and us, but also for the environment.
