Lervig has become the brewery gaining international notoriety and is now exporting half of its production.

In the filling hall there is a quote on the wall “we are going to brew the world’s best beer”. The quote has been there since 2005 when Lervig filled its first bottles of beer. For a while this was far from the truth as the new brewery had a tough time getting into the market, but as of 2010 the ball got rolling.

Mike Murphy, an American, started as brewmaster and has made Lervig an International success.
– the quote is quite funny as in the beginning even the locals didn´t want to drink our beer, but it´s slowly becoming more truthful. We strive to better the quality of beer every day, that is why we´re here, says CEO Anders Heide Kleinstrup.
