Get to know us better
For 135 years, Mack was located in the center of Tromsø before production was moved out of the city in 2012. In Mack’s historic cellar premises, we now offer the opportunity to join a rich and engaging guided tour. The tour begins in the beer shop Kjeller 5 and continues into the old brewery cellars from 1877. You’ll learn about the founder of Mack and the brewery’s history, followed by insights into today’s Mack Brewery, which is still family-owned.

Beer tasting
Broaden Your Horizons
Many people enjoy beer, and more are eager to learn about this traditional beverage. Our passionate and knowledgeable beer hosts can guide you through two different tasting experiences.
Mack Mini Tasting is a quick and efficient beer tasting where the host serves and presents a tasting board with five different beers from Mack’s range. You’ll also get a brief introduction to the history of Mack Brewery and Ølhallen, followed by plenty of time to enjoy the beers on your own.
Mack Beer Course is a longer and more in-depth tasting experience. The host will guide you through five different types of beer and describe them as you taste. There will also be a focus on the brewing process and what makes the flavors differ during brewing.
Ølhallen
Maximum 200–250 guests – 140 seats available.
Ølhallen, with its long history, is today one of the country’s best beer venues. Here we offer most of Mack’s own products along with a wide selection of other high-quality Norwegian beers.
For various gatherings and events, we rent out the southern section of Ølhallen. We tailor the setup to your wishes and needs. Ølhallen is suitable for most types of events and is a popular choice for celebrations and social gatherings. The atmosphere is rustic and informal.
Direksjonen and Haakonsbar
Maximum 80 guests – 40 seats available.
The Direksjonen room was originally the office of founder Ludwig Markus Mack and is now used both as a meeting room and an event venue.
Together with the Irish bar Haakonsbar, this venue is suitable for both formal and informal gatherings. The atmosphere is bright and welcoming. It’s a popular venue for meetings, celebrations, and other events. The room is equipped with a screen and projector. Maximum capacity (Direksjonen): 60 people in theater setup (without tables).
Ludwig Mack Stuene
Maximum 50 guests – 20 to 40 seats available.
Ludwig Mack Stuene was the home of Ludwig Mack and his family. Much of the original interior has been preserved as it was in the old days.
Today, the home is used by Mack for special occasions, and we also offer it for private rental. The apartment consists of a large dining room, an equally spacious lounge with sofa groups, a kitchen, and restrooms. This venue has an elegant atmosphere and is well suited for workshops, fine dining, and formal gatherings.
Brewing Course
- Monday – Sunday
- The course lasts approximately 4 hours.
Brewing Course
Become a homebrewer
We regularly host home brewing courses. The course is aimed at those who want to learn the basics of beer brewing, as well as those looking to develop their skills further. It starts from scratch—with raw ingredients and water—and guides you through the entire process until you end up with a finished product.
After the course, you’ll have the knowledge you need to brew your own beer, just the way you like it.
