The Schou Brewery (Norwegian: Schous Bryggeri) is a former Norwegian brewery.

The company originated in a brewery that Johannes Thrane founded around 1800. Jørgen Young owned the brewery for some time before it was purchased by Christian Julius Schou (1792–1874) in 1837. The brewery was operated at several different locations in Oslo, and in 1873 operations were moved to a new facility at the Schousløkken property at Trondheimsveien (Trondheim Street) no. 2. The Schou Brewery took over the Foss Brewery in 1917, when the Foss Brewery was unable to receive raw materials from Germany during the First World War. In 1962, the Schou Brewery merged with Frydenlund Breweries to create the Merged Breweries Company (Norwegian: De Sammensluttede Bryggerier A/S). That company operated until 1977 as the Frydenlund Schou Brewery (Norwegian: Frydenlund Schous Bryggeri). In 1977 the company was taken over by Nora Industries (Norwegian: Nora Industrier), which also owned the Ringnes brewery and Nora Mineral Water (Norwegian: Nora Mineralvann). The Schou Brewery was Norway's oldest brewery when it shut down in 1981.
