Sales of October beer begins

Despite the cancellation of Oktoberfest in Munich this year due to the global pandemic, sales of October beer in Vínbúðin stores will begin on Thursday September 16th and the sales period will last until October 31st.

Eiðistorg reopens

Vínbúðin Eiðistorgi has now been reopened after thorough renovations. The store has been expanded considerably and the beer is now in a walk-in cooler. The product selection has also been increased considerably and a lot has been done to make the customer experience as good as possible.

Renovations in Eiðistorg

Vínbúðin Eiðistorg will be closed due to renovations from Monday September 6th until Tuesday September 14th. Customers are directed to the Vínbúðin stores in Austurstræti and Kringlan, as well as the stores with longer opening hours in Skeifan and Skútuvogur.

Long line ahead!

Due to Commerce Day all Vínbúðin stores will be closed on monday, August 2nd. The week before Commerce Day is the most busy time of the year at Vínbúðin and most customers shop between 16:00 and 18:00. The best way to skip ahead is to show up at the early part of the week, early in the day!

No more disposable bags

New government rules banning the sale of disposable bags at checkouts will take effect July 1st. This applies to all disposable bags, including biodegradable ones.

Urgent recall of beer

ÁTVR is recalling the product The Brothers Brewery Sigla Humlafley Session IPA, which is a beer in a 330 ml aluminum can, since the product's packaging can swell and explode. The recall is only for cans with the best before date: 18.08.21.
