WHAT TO DO

EAT & DRINK

Krasniy Medved is the first brewery on Svalbard that was open in 2012. There are only two breweries on the archipelago and the second one was open in Longyearbyen in 2015. Since 1928 there have been “a dry law” on Svalbard meaning that you could buy an only limited volume of hard alcohol. Until 2014 it had been forbidden to produce alcohol drinks including beer stronger than 2.5 degrees so the first beer in Krasniy Medved was brewed in less than 2.5 degrees.
