trondhjem mikrobryggeri

Centrally located in downtown Trondheim you can find the fairly ok priced beef&burger-restaurant Mikrobryggeriet. The food was ok+. The beer varies in a way that they might have completely different beer-menus from one week to the next. We just got to taste 2 different ales, both very nice. Recommended, botth for couples, friends and "boys' evening out"!

We just found it by almost a mistake by taking a walk in Trondheim during a long weekend breakaway. And we loved it... if you are into beers and burgers, this is the place... good service. great beers with their own twist... amazing burgers... nice ambient..

Let's first talk about the beer. I have been in the brewing business since 1980s, mostly in microbrewing. Norway is experiencing it's own microbrewery expansions and I notice that a lot of focus is on exaggerated versions of accepted styles. For instance, the San Francisco Pale Ale here is actually an IPA. The IPA more of a double IPA. They describe their brown ale as a "traditional European" brown ale. Huh? Did they mean UK? In any case, they should not have used American hops which have a very distinct flavor and aroma. Etc. Sadly, the brewmaster was on holiday when I visited so I could not ask him about this. Having said that, some of the beers were excellent with the "Oat Stout" being one of the best. However, I hope you are not in a hurry for that one as it took more than 20 minutes for a small snifter to be filled. I'm going to blame that on the brewer being on vacation and the rest of the staff not knowing how to deal with nitrogen pours.Speaking of staff, the bar staff really could not have been much more disinterested. Service was awful. I was there on a week night and there were only 3 other tables with customers. Perhaps no one wanted to interact with the old guy with the poor pronunciation taking notes and photos. But typically I don't have that problem in other restaurants even when my Norwegian language skills run out. The burgers and fries on the menu were nowhere near American flavors. They put freakin' corn relish on the burger.... And the fries are very dark brown and mushy. I'm not sure why. They didn't taste very good.

A local pub with local beer. Like the name says they brew their own beer which is quite good. They have a decent selection of beers to choose from, from dark strong beers to light beers.I've been here with my friend and the atmosphere was good. They also serve snacks in form of burgers and similar stuff. I had a burger which was ok, but not really great.I was told that during the summer semester pub gets quite crowded but it is not so afterwards. Still if you come in a bit later it will be hard for you to get a table.As I was told it is typical in Norway pubs to order drinks and snacks at the bar and pay immediately. It is good practice as long as you don't loose the table due to this practise (that's what's happened to me and my friend). Let someone stay at the table while you are getting the next round.

This is one of several pubs in Trondheim serving a locally brewed beer. The beer is great, the food is good, and the atmosphere is nice but hectic.

If you are fond of a good, tasting beer this is the rigth place for you. The microbryggeri are produceing many types of beer- Have an nice wisit

Try the IPA!!! They are famous for their beer- the food is OK - but the locals go there for the beer.

As soon as I walked in, I smelled burger and fries. The place is very American in it's decor and food options. We just had the house beers which were ok, but I'm accustomed to more challenging craft beers. My friend from Trondheim drinks even more complex beer than myself, but he appreciates the simplicity and balance of the beers. You can get a sampler of all of their beers. I was given tastes and settled on the amber. It was fine. The service was efficient and friendly. This would be a great place for a large group.

Great beer, especially the IPA (Indian Pale Ale) and Stout. The barkeepers used to be friendlier, though.

A really nice place to drink some beer, especially the 8 types trial. It cost NOR 140 for 100ml of 8 kind of beer, including two seasonal ones.

A little hard to find. I sat at the bar and had the most expensive burger and a beer I've ever had. That doesn't say anything about the Trondheim Microbryggeri, it's just that Norway is an incredibly expensive place and this happened to be my first night in the country, so a bit of a sticker shock.The food itself was good, and the beer was good but nothing particualrly special. The selection is small and the range of styles nothing out of the ordinary, especially for a country that can produce a Nøgne Ø. To make it worse, they were out of the stout when I visited, narrowing the options even more. The main problem was that the service was very slow and erratic; the bartender was serving a large number of tables as well.

If you thought Norway didn't produce great beer, think again. This is a terrific brew pub, spacious with an island bar and lots of seating. Excellent staff are eager to explain what is on offer - try the sample tray with around six different beers. The food isn't bad either - my bacalao (spicy cod and potato stew) was just the thing to complement the beer.

If it's your first visit, you should order the samples. It consists of a tray with several different kinds of beer, 1 dl each. That way you get to taste different varieties before ordering your favourite. If you're around in December, definitely try their seasonal Christmas brew. It's very popular, so it usually gets sold out before Christmas. They also serve home made food, burgers are popular. Lovely atmosphere. Come early (before eight) in the weekends if you want a table for more than two people. Great place to have a beer or two in good company.

Home made beers (mostly ales), along with a season beer changing every so often. The Christmas Ale is always amazing. Try it if you are around in December.Many of the burgers are made with their own beer, and worth trying.Nice atmosphere, and the music loudness is conversation friendly.

Surprised that there wasn't a great selection of beer nor a menu detailing them, most were rather sweet to so rather disappointed. However as a bar it was hopping, bar staff friendly and music good.
