Trondheim Bryggerifestival is a craft-beer showcase set up inside the larger Trondersk Matfestival at Torvet in central Trondheim each summer. Since 2013 it has given Norwegian microbreweries a dedicated tasting tent, growing out of local frustration that Trondheim lagged behind other Norwegian cities in craft brewing.
In 2013, Trondheim's food scene got a new, smaller sibling event tucked inside its biggest culinary gathering.
The festival exists as a specialist pocket inside a much bigger event: rather than standing alone, it occupies its own tent within Trondersk Matfestival, Trondheim's flagship food gathering at Torvet
Its 2013 debut was a deliberate response to the city's brewing scene being dominated for decades by the Carlsberg-owned E
Dahls Bryggeri, with almost no local craft alternative
Early editions poured samples from small Norwegian producers such as Naogne O, Haandbryggeriet, AEgir, Kinn, and the newly launched Austmann Bryggeri, with brewers on hand to talk through their beers
The festival reflects Norway's broader craft-beer revival of the 2010s
when a wave of small breweries pushed back against a market long dominated by a handful of industrial producers
Housing it inside a regional food festival ties it to Trondelag's wider tradition of celebrating local food and drink producers side by side
