b'My love of delicious beer and curiosity about Iceland blended together perfectly when I sat down to chat with \\xd3li, the brewmaster at \\xc6gisgar\\xf0ur brewery. While there are bigger and well known breweries in Iceland, I was drawn to \\xc6gisgar\\xf0ur for a few reasons. The first is that I got married in that brewery in 2017 and I had the pleasure of attending a beer tasting earlier in the spring of this year. \\xd3li conducted the beer tasting and dropped some major knowledge about Iceland\\u2019s complicated history with beer and other types of alcohol. After that, I just knew that I needed to chat with him about his role as brewmaster, the complicated history that I mentioned, and how the beer culture has evolved in Iceland.
