The Brothers Brewery Origins
Located on scenic Vestmannaeyjar Island in Iceland, The Brothers Brewery began at the end of 2012 when good friends Jóhann Guðmundsson and Kjartan Vídó decided on a whim to start brewing beer. After all, they really loved beer, as their current slogan proves: “Beer is our water, let’s not waste time drinking something else.”
The two beer-loving buddies shared the idea with their brothers, Davíð and Hlyn. Together, the four men founded The Brothers Brewery. Later, Davíð dropped out, but the group added Hannes Eiríksson to the team, who conveniently had a garage.
They soon began brewing beer in Hannes’ garage. By 2015, they were ready for some feedback on their efforts. Friend Einar Birn tried their products and decided to sell the beer at his local restaurant, Einsa Kalda, giving the friends their first big break.
The Beer’s Introduction in Vestmannaeyjar
This Iceland brewery received its production license early in 2016. The crew began brewing beer with a homemade kit and hot water barrel. This small start worked well initially because the brewery only meant selling its beer at Einsa Kalda, the local restaurant.
The demand for the flavorful beverage was more than anyone expected. That meant the team had to quickly up their production capacity. Soon the beer was for sale in other restaurants outside of Vestmannaeyjar, and this Iceland brewery was on its way.
Fast Expansion
Because the beer caught on so quickly, The Brothers Brewery team quickly realized that a small beer hall and additional production area would be a profitable idea. The owners decided to invest in a new space that allowed patrons to enjoy the beer and also view the production process.
They made this dream a reality in 2017 in a 220-square-meter building at Bárustíg. Their modest expectation of a tiny beer hall with one employee rapidly turned into a bustling hall that required multiple employees to run.
Success came with a price, of course. By 2018, The Brothers Brewery needed to expand again, leading them to purchase a site in nearby Bakárí so they could expand their products’ reach.
Currently, this Iceland brewery is located in a 550m2 building at Bárustíg 7, where they use new brewing equipment and the Twin Monkeys mobile canning system. The building also houses an upper-floor guest room for group presentations, private parties, and other rental events.
Two-full time employees run the beer production, and 15 other workers run the beer hall and occasionally help with production. The brewery has become a significant area employer.
