Mack Brewery is a brewery in Tromsø, Norway. It was founded in 1877 by Ludvig Mack.

Until December 10, 2000, Mack was the northernmost brewery in the world. This honour was then taken by Nordkapp Mikrobryggeri, a micro-brewery in Honningsvåg, when that brewery produced its first beer, called Sårry Makk (phonetic Norwegian for Sorry Mack - a humorous name for the occasion). However, due to Mack's old traditions and nationwide distribution, Mack is regarded as a more proper brewery, and is thus often cited as the northernmost in the world, including the claim on Mack's beer bottles.
