From the record

Summary

Ingested from the Newfoundland and Labrador compendium (August 2026). Address, coordinates and independence as published there; not independently

A summary written during research. The sourced facts are in the sections below.

Tally’s Take

The northernmost brewery on the island, up the Viking Trail near L'Anse aux Meadows where Norse settlers landed a thousand years ago. Moose-antler tap handles and a floor salvaged from a school gymnasium — you could not invent this.

Where it brewed

  1. 223-227 West Street, St. Anthony
    St. Anthony, Newfoundland and Labrador

    PRODUCTION

    Operated by RagnaRöck Northern Brewing Company Ltd.

    Site detail

    2019 opening is established. Pass 11 found a current business/property sale listing including the brewery brand/equipment and secondary sources calling the brewery closed, but the evidence is not clean enough to assign a defensible closure date/status. Remains STATUS TO RECHECK.

  2. 223-227 West Street
    St. Anthony, Newfoundland and Labrador

    Production brewery / taproom

    Operated by RagnaRöck Northern Brewing Company Ltd.

    Site detail

    Government evidence proves physical brewery/taproom use. Current sale evidence preserves the site as an equipped brewery asset with the 5-barrel brewhouse, taproom fixtures and other brewery infrastructure still present. This proves survival of the brewery fabric, not current brewery operation or public visitability.

These are different physical places. A brewery moving premises is not the same brewery continuing, and the archive keeps them apart.

    Contemporary industry report.

  4. Contemporary industry reporting documents a new RagnaRöck release in January 2024, strengthening the operating lower bound before the later 2024 closure window.2024-01

    Closure

    Useful lower-bound evidence; exact closure remains later in 2024.

  5. Secondary evidence bounds the physical taproom closure: a 2024-07-13 Google-sourced review documents a visit with beer/food/live music; a 2024-09-05 Untappd check-in calls the site the former brewery and says it had closed.2024-07-13 – 2024-09-05

    Closure

    Exact closure day remains NOT YET. This event closes the physical brewery/taproom lifecycle only, not legal entity or brand ownership.
