Borg Bryggerier

Borg Bryggerier

Borg Bryggerier (Borg Breweries) is a Norwegian brewery, based in the city of Sarpsborg, Østfold.

It was founded in 1855 as "Lande Gaard Bryggeri". In 1905, the Egenæss-family acquired the brewery, it has been owned by the Egenæss-family since then. Following the acquisition of the "Halden Bryggeri" (Halden Brewery) during the 1960s, and the merger with "Fredrikstad Bryggeri" (Fredrikstad Brewery) in 1989, Borg became the undisputed largest brewery in Østfold. In 1997, Borg was merged with the Bergen-based "Hansa Bryggeri" (Hansa Brewery), which created the "Hansa Borg Bryggerier" (Hansa Borg Breweries), of which the Egenæss-family owns 60% of the shareholdings.

Today, Borg enjoys nationwide distribution of its main beer, the Borg pilsener, through a distribution deal with the store chain ICA/Rimi.
