The Renifer Brewery (Ostric: Bròwar Renifer; Navish: Renifer bryggeri) is a craft brewery located in Jakóbgard, Ostry, a national territory of Navack. The name Renifer comes from the Ostric word for reindeer.
Founded in 1819 by brothers Edvin Król and Edvard Król, Renifer is the largest brewer in Ostry, and one of the largest in Navack. Since the early 20th century, the company's products are available in many countries on the Lhedwinic archipelago, and even further in Asura in larger cities such as Lotrič and Neuaddduwiau. On the international stage, Renifer is seen as a recognizable symbol of Ostric industry and culture, and the company promotes such an image, displaying "brewed in Ostry" on its bottling since 1923.
The brewery remains in the hands of the Król family, who have kept the company private. In 1999, controversy erupted when it was revealed funding earmarked towards renovations to the main brewery was instead sent as a donation to Regional Administrator Teodor Dahl, who was seeking re-election in that year's regional election.
Renifer brews a lineup of eight beers consistently, and various seasonal beers throughout the year. They are known for their high quality, relatively high alcoholic percentage, averaging at around 10-12%, and use of various unique flavours within the product. The brewery also makes one liquor called kòrnus, a traditional Ostric beverage.
