Föroya Bjór
Föroya Bjór is a Faroese brewing company founded in 1888 by Símun F. Hansen. The name of the brewery means The Beer of the Faroes. In 1883 Símun F. Hansen went to Denmark to learn the art of brewing and baking. When he returned to the Faroes a few years later he established his own brewery in 1888, the second to be established in the country. The first brewery was Restorffs Bryggjarí. Since August 2007, when Restorffs Bryggjarí went out of business, Föroya Bjór has been the only producer of beer and soft drinks in the Faroe Islands, and as such the brewery is a popular tourist destination.
