“The tour was fun and informative but the description made it sound as though we'd be receiving our own plate of tapas. Instead, we had to share with another tour guest. First world problems, I know, but it was very misleading.”

We sampled 4 different Norwegian beers as the co-owner of Roor gave us in depth explanations of the beers ingredients and brewing process. This was by far the best and most in-depth beer tasting I have ever done!”
