Our micro brewery is a small family business founded in Isafjorður in Octorber 2017 merely for the purpose to make local craft beer and the Westfjords really needed one. Then our first beer was made in the early summer of 2018. The brewery is located at Sindragata 11 but that’s were all of our products are made.

We visited in winter. The place was officially closed, but we could still walk around the site which is located on the shore. Wonderful replica fishing huts with grass roofs and fish drying shack with fish in it. It was really charming. Great views of the town, mountains and fjord. We watched a seal fish and lay on a rock very near shore. Just 100 meters or so up the road is an adorable lighthouse. Across from the lighthouse, there is an easy hiking trail up the mountain. All this might not warrant a 7 hour trip from Reykjavik but if you are in Isafjordur or otherwise nearby in the Westfjords, this could be a really great place to spend 1-3 hours, winter or summer, open or closed.

The Sheep Farming Museum is 12 km south of Holmavik by road 68. The exhibition itself tells about sheep farming and concentrates on providing diverse entertainment for all ages. There are also theme exhibitions about history and nature, f.x. about cursed places in the area. Visitors can buy coffee and homemade cakes, ice cream and handicraft from the area and feed lambs with milk from a bottle.

*We happily open our door for groups and enthusiasts all year round outside opening hours. Please leave us message us on FB * Hversdagssafn - museum of everyday life has the main purpose of investigating the mundane and the common, finding the poetry that comes forward when no one is looking. It’s a collection of local voices, memories and story fragments - nostalgic, humorous and thought provoking - curated in various interactive ways. It’s local, as it gives a glimpse to people’s life in the Westfjords, and it’s universal since it touches on the things we all share. Everyday life is a little like dark matter, what happens in between significant moments in life and holds everything together. It’s meeting friends, having dinner, yelling at children, being yelled at, sulking. It’s walking between places, going to work, staying home, worrying, washing up, cutting vegetables. It’s both random and routine. Once you stop and look at it, the beauty of the mundane is revealed.

This building is itself an amazing piece of history. Make sure you visit the top floor! With a section on local fishing, accordion culture in Isafjordur, local plants, boat building tools and even an old dive suit this place is a little gem in a beautiful town of the Westfjords.
