They do such a good job there. When's the next flight to Akureyri?
Beer surprised me! So balanced with a perfect mouthfeel. The complexity was so interwoven with an amazing clean finish. New fan of Einstok!
Do these guys make anything but great beers?
This might be my new favorite because of its unique deliciousness!
