Valhöll Brewing

Really cool place! I didn’t even realize it was there until I looked it up on my phone. Great selection of beers and ciders. The outside it nice, and there is cornhole which is super fun to play. I would come again for sure!

Great IPA! Have a beer and sit outside enjoying the sun!

We almost could not find this place, we were tourists (from AZ) a few days ago and took a bit for us to find it. Once we did, it was a really cool lodge looking place with a cabin-​lodge feel. It is small but it was busy and brews were great. They don’t serve food but outside they did have a third party vendor for food out in the parking lot. Nice staff and nice location as well as views.

Great Micro-​Brewery. I love the atmosphere and the friendliness of everyone that works here. Some days they have excellent BBQ or other food outside (to be purchased from whoever sets it up) Great deal on a growler and a pint on Mondays. I bring everyone to Valholl that is visiting the area.

I treat myself to a growler from here every once in awhile. They have an excellent take on all of my favorite styles of beer. As a new Poulsbo resident, I am sure I will be coming here as long as they continue putting out good brews.

Good stop in Poulsbo! The beers are pretty good, I had a wit and sampled their nitro. It’s just a street above the Main Street in town. Overall, it was a good spot. I would stop by here again.

Good Brewery in Poulsbo. Have alot of selections to try from. I got to try 3 beers.
Golden Warrior Ale, Valkyrie red, and the Witt.
This place had live music the day I came, and the band was playing 80’s music. Drinks were flowing and everyone was having a good time. I recommend trying the Witt. They also have a nonalocoholic Root beer that was good too.

I’m getting ready to retire from the Coast Guard and we went to the Kitsap Peninsula looking for a town we liked and could see ourselves living in. Poulsbo was intriguing to us. We saw Valholl Brewing and decided to stop. The owner (Jeff) and everyone in the bar was so friendly and down to earth that we decided that Poulsbo was the place for us. The beer was amazing, and even my wife that doesn’t like beer found a favorite. Can’t wait to retire so I can visit this place frequently.

Awesome little brewery! The staff was friendly and attentive. The beers were quite delicious.

Awesome place. Met the owner and had a great time talking and exchanging stories. Can’t wait to go back.

I love Valholl. I love their delicious brews, I love the beautiful view. I love that the picnic tables sort of force you to be social. The bartenders and clientele are always friendly and talkative. I love that my dog is allowed to hang out with us so I don’t feel guilty leaving her at home all night.
Most of all I love that I can get growlers to go. I do not love the hangover I am suffering from today.

I love the beers I’ve tried so far as well as the sturdy appearance of the place! Service could be a scosch friendlier even for a Viking bar atmosphere, the bartender was pretty chilly! Not rude or anything, but not with the warmth of the average beerslinger. [: (I sling beer for a living, and always speak about excellent service if I get it!)

This is the best of the three brewery in town. It’s a little small inside, but has a good view of Liberty Bay. Great tasting beer, and the staff is polite and helpful. I Will definitely be back.

So glad I finally got a chance to make it into this brewery!
Charming and cozy little taproom with some great, chatty staff, and great beers to boot. Most of the stuff these guys brew tends to be in the realm of heavy hitters, so if you’re a fan of the imperial/​stronger styles, these guys deliver them in spades. While I enjoyed everything I was able to try, perhaps the most unique offerings I had were the smoked rye ale w/​cherry, and an imperial mole stout. For the quality here, the beers are surprisingly inexpensive.
No kitchen, but you can bring your own food in here if desired.
Overall, an excellent spot to sit back and enjoy a pint w/​some great scenery to look at. Hoping I spot some of their stuff in my own neighborhood sometime, but more than happy to come back here in the future regardless!

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to Valholl Brewing.
I tried the Valkyrie Red and really liked it.
The taproom is very small, but charming. It does feel like you’re in a small community there. And bonus, hockey was on. Completed my Scandinavian expectations.
I was so pleased at stumbling across this place that I had to buy a shirt as well.

The hubby and I went here for a drink during a recent date night. It was mid week, and there were several people there. We found a spot to sit and ordered our beers. The light beer I ordered was not to my liking, but the red was pretty tasty. The one thing that confused me was the guy who had his kid there. Is that allowed? IF so I could have saved a ton on babysitting money. LOL just kidding — but seriously who takes their kid to a brewery? And is that even legal?

Super small local brewery. It’s located on a one way street with a few parking spots next to the building. But you kind find a good amount of parking on the streets.
The place was super packed with a small seating area. I heard this place is always packed so be prepared to stand till seats open up, which luckily happens pretty quickly.
The building is pretty cool and I like how you can see them brewing in the back!
Another one of the bring your own snacks/​food breweries though it looked like they also have some snacks and peanuts. Love that you don’t have to find a sitter for this place it’s super family and dog friendly!!!
Everyone liked the beer here. They had a good variety of light to dark. We each got 4 tasters and went back for another round to keep trying all they had.
The favorites of the group were the rye, in-​law and monstrosity.
Go support a local brewery and give them a try!

I like the IPA, the atmosphere and the bartender was a great host! Food would be a great addition but one can bring ones own.

Really neat little place with great beer.
It’s pretty small – about eight picnic tables and a bar with a half-​dozen stools.
Service was good – just walk up to the bar and order. I met the lead brewer and he showed me around the brewery – really nice guy.
They don’t have a kitchen, but smoked salmon and peanuts are available.
The beer here is not only outstanding, but they have a lot to sample – when I visited, 15 different beers were available.

We stopped in after a round-​about walk trying to find it. The outside of the building is a good disguise of sorts. But inside things were nice. It’s drinks only, and the beer was good. The reader board listed the beers and alcohol level, but not the prices. They had a «Kill the Keg» promo going for $ 3/​pint for their Summer Wheat IPA. Heh, it seems like any beer could stand to have an IPA at the end!
They should take a look at Stoup Brewing, among others, in Seattle for how to put together a menu of their beers complete with IBU and SRM, plus prices for different sizes. Or do one better and put together an HD screen with the menu and changing pictures of the beers and the brewing operation.
Anyway, it’s a nice place and worthy of a stop if you are down one block on Front Street doing the Norwegian Village and Village thing.

As people call the breweries in Poulsbo the «Trinity» because of the three breweries in town, Valholl Brewing was our last stop. Steve said he did not want to drink anymore but since we journeyed from Tacoma to specifically hit this area I was willing to have one more beer.
I got a very bitter IPA and while it was ok the bitterness overshadowed any other spices and flavor that may have been there. I realize full well that being in the Pacific Northwest that I am in IPA country and I really do like IPA’s; I was just not too terribly impressed with this one.

This review is for the new location on 3^rd Avenue, behind the main Poulsbo tourist drag.
The building here is so, so cool. It’s a classic mid-​century modern structure with interesting post and beam construction. Some of the beams are purely decorative, but the structural elements across the ceiling are really cool. There’s a big heavy new door made to look like a rough-​hewn piece appropriate for a Viking longhouse with big heavy iron hinges, and inside there’s a bunch of reclaimed second-​use clear cedar nailed to the walls for paneling. It’s gorgeous inside, in a very mixed contemporary way. So cool. There’s a tasting room, a bar, a couple of heads, and then down a hall is the production brewery. You can clearly see, hear, and smell the brewing and cleaning as it happens.
The staff and regulars here are very laid back and friendly. The place filled up in no time when we were here, and everyone seemed to know each other. Felt like a house party.
Unfortunately, every beer we tried had significant flaws, but as they gain experience, most likely they’ll eliminate most if not all of these. Still, despite the quality of the beer, I can’t help but recommend this place. You have to stop in for at least one beer if you’re on the strip in Poulsbo, and if you’re making the big Poulsbo beer run (Slippery Pig, Sound, Valholl), then it’s a given that ya gotta get in here.
Skål!
