Great brewery with a bit of a Viking vibe. Of course it's Poulsbo! We were the only ones in brewery and were greeted by a friendly beertender who explained all the beers on tap. We chose a flight and all were good. No food choices here so bring your own food. read more

My favorite brewery, unique atmosphere, dogs welcome, great beer, every time! This place made me a beer snob.

Beers weren't great, not off, but not good enough for a full glass, and the patio is a sloped, covered piece of asphalt. I think the tourists will drink anything that fits the Viking theme here. Calling beers "brew bitch" is the first clue. read more

I loved so much about this place! After a hot afternoon hike with my parents up and around Hurricane Ridge, we were all craving some beers to cool us down. We first stopped at Marina Market for some Scandinavian snacks - you can bring your own food! - and then walked up to Valhöll. We saddled up to a picnic table inside and started with a few pints of the Golden Warrior ($5 each). In a land of IPAs, it is so refreshing to drink a simple, well-made blonde ale. Loved it! For my second beer, I tried the dry hopped version of the Golden Warrior ($5), and it was also excellent. My husband went with the Valkyrie Red and British Black Ale, also both of high quality. Overall, the vibe in the small space was super casual and friendly, and we loved the views of the harbor. We didn't bring growlers, but a 64 oz. fill for most beers on tap is only $12 - what a deal! Although we loved our munchies from Marina Market, they do have some small snacks for sale and ciders on tap for non-beer drinkers. Cheers! read more

Absolutely in love with their Golden Warrior Ale. I went to the brewery after Chris purchased my flight at The Seattle Beer Company. The brewery is an excellent experience! Only 4/5 because they were out of stock on some of their merchandise and didn't offer a branded pint glass! Once you guys get some in stock, put that online and I'll definitely order and ship! read more

I just moved to the area and was extremely excited about trying this brewery. The decor is great! and the building is beautiful- with water views. You can tell the owners love the building and are serious about brewing. The only reason I have given Valholl Brewing 2 stars is because of the customer service. If you are not local then don't bother. As I mentioned I just moved to the area so Im trying to explore and try out new things. When my husband and I walked in the first thing the bartender (a woman) said before even saying hello, was "All our beers are on the board and YES we make them all" in a rude tone. So my husband was trying to be nice and said "Oh you can tell I'm not a local?, what gave it away?" she then said "You're sweater" We ordered our beers, they were good. The whole experience was just uncomfortable. its obvious that this place is not open to new customers or anyone who isn't local. Its unfortunate because we do like the building and the style!! its very cool BUT we won't be returning. read more

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!! read more

Good beer but no food options. Felt a bit tight inside but that could be because it was rainy and so no one was sitting outside. Recommend a couple basic food options other than simply buying a vending machine style bag of lays potato chips. read more

Great beers and ciders. Extremely cozy atmosphere, very relaxed. Loved the fire outside, we spent a lot more time than planned. Loved Poulsbo, can't wait to return! read more

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. read more

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. read more

The best beer on tap was the brewers bitch. His wife was nice also. Don't ever, ever, ever, visit Poulsbo without stopping here. I'll never ever, ever, ever, forget this place especially the music. From SF read more

I am not a big beer drinker so I will leave it to others to review them, but I love the beautiful view of Liberty Bay. It's a small place with picnic tables that make it a socialable place. The bartenders and clientele are always friendly and talkative. The bar dog is friendly and dogs and kids are welcome. The place is easy to miss in a nondescript building with street parking, but it's directly across from Poulsbo City Hall. read more

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. read more

First time going to a tasting room / tap room. Excellent beer, fun atmosphere. Cool location, too. Had I not seen the sandwich board outside of Marina Market (another place you should check out), I wouldn't even know these guys were up there. If you're in Downtown Historic Poulsbo, look for the super colorful Viking mural. Take the stairs up past the Marina Market and you're there. Not a single brew will disappoint. Trust me. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Scotch ale was undrinkable. "Smoke" tasted like kerosene. Honestly the rest of the place was fun and other beers were good, but hoping that this scathing review will save some other unwitting patron from stumbling into this mouthful of chemical smoke (and maybe prod the brewmaster into changing his method of barley smoking or source better smoked barley). read more

The Mother in law double IPA is my favorite, with the Brew Bitch IPA my second. The British black is a good dark ale. Great little brewery in an amazing authentic Viking town. Check it out! read more

I love this brewery! The owners are down to earth and all their patrons are super sweet and friendly. The brew-tenders even remember your favorite drink! Definitely my staple of Poulsbo. read more

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. read more

Did a walk through town on a hot day and decided a good brew was necessary. I had the bitch ipa my wife the porter. $5 a pint non happy hour prices seems reasonable. I needed to decide between the ipas and was offered a taste of both. Both were good but the bitch was better. Wife enjoyed the porter. If I lived in the area I would be back. read more

Brewery definitely is amazing not to mention the giant viking door at the entrance! Came in on a random stop while on a road trip in Washington definitely worth the pitstop! After a couple of brews and a few souvenirs, convinced that if i'm in the neighborhood again I'll be having another brew read more

Some pretty decent beers, particularly the stout, but the brunette at the counter was flippant and rude. Not worth it. This place may be fine for growler fills but if I won't be back to drink. read more

Discovered this place while on a road trip through the peninsula. Great find. Staff was friendly, & good beers. The DPA was decent, wife had the poulsbro porter which was excellent. Wishing I had got that instead even though I'm on a complete IPA kick this trip.The atmosphere very relaxing. Nice filtered view of the harbor, I bet it would be awesome on a non smokey day! Bought a sticker for the fridge at home. Will definitely be back when in the area again. read more

Fun, small place with good beer and a good vibe. A few outdoor tables. Lots of beer choices. The Valkyrie Red was our favorite. read more

Beer is great. I especially love the stout, Stouty. We stop here every year after Strange Brew. The woman serving today? Unbelievably rude. Hope she's not permanent read more

Great brewery with an awesome space producing great beer. They have a good location in Poulsbo that is close to the main drag. There is seating at the bar for 8, several table inside and when the weather is good seating outside as well. The outside of the building is non-descript, but inside the feeling is very different. Old siding is used on the ceiling, big timber post and lots of wood every where. Great place, great people and great beer, check it out! read more

Loved it! Great beer, great logo! Great town! Hope to be back in this neck of the woods for more soon. Recommend everything- we don't like hoppy beer, so the English black and the golden warrior were awesome! Excellent ciders on tap, too. read more

Best atmosphere of the three breweries in Poulsbo - nice view of liberty bay while you enjoy your drink. During the summer they have someone roll in with wood fire pizza that is Delicious. Beer is great. Sorry to hear some folks think the staff isn't so friendly. We have never had a problem but we are locals. read more

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. read more

With tasting rooms being so popular these days, I was excited to hear that one opened up within walking distance from home. Valhöll Brewing has setup a very comfortable place to relax and enjoy the tasty brews they serve. Now that the weather has started to warm up, they are able to open up the space into the outdoors so guests can enjoy the sunshine and the wonderful view of Liberty Bay. I definitely recommend Valhöll as a place to unwind and enjoy really good beer. read more

Compliments on the beer and atmosphere! Nice brew selection and service. This could be a great venue for sports viewing, maybe add a bigger TV or one more off to the side? My favorite Poulsbo beer venue! read more

Great beers, great staff. Stop in from time to time not a regular, but always feel welcomed. Great view of Liberty Bay also. read more

Love this brewery, come here every time I'm heading to Bainbridge and Seattle. Exellent beer and a great atmosphere.

Favorite brewhall in all of kitsap. The atmosphere is always positive and energetic. The beer is the best. They have many choices on taps, my personal favorites are the brew bitch, the Valkyrie red, and the mother in law. I always stop by for a pint whenever I'm walking around downtown Poulsbo. read more

The root beer was very good- we did not try the beer. Location is just a little off the path, but easy to find... I like the basic look of the brewery- semi-industrial read more

Eh. Ok beer, nothing I'd make a special trip for. We came in close to closing and bar tender had a bunch of friends there, kind of annoying conversations and loud. Probably would not return. read more
