Mack Bryggeri (English: Mack Brewery; Norwegian official name: AS L. Macks ølbryggeri og mineralvannsfabrikk) is a brewery in Tromsø, Norway. It was founded in 1877 by Ludvig Mack.
[edit] Northernmost status
Until December 10, 2000, Mack was the northernmost brewery in the world. This honour was then taken by Nordkapp Mikrobryggeri, a microbrewery 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.
