Description
What began as an pursuit in quality beer became more serious when local homebrewer Ola Raphaug joined the discussion on local beer. 2015 saw many test batches and the feedback on the beers produced was too positive to ignore. A brewery needed to be built.

As 2016 approached the team started looking for a suitable place to put it all together. A recently closed and emptied supermarket proved to be a healthy space to put it all together. The building would have room to grow and had refrigeration systems vital to production of quality of beer. Located in Kotsøy the brewery would need a name and an identity.

Tormod Leithe from Dynamis Designs was brought to the table. He designed a logo that had the four elements as branches around a central core. The four branches represent the four valleys around Forollhogna, the four main ingredients of beer, and the founders of the business. Respectively the core, our product, comes from the branches of dedicated people and quality ingredients.
As the branches of this design came together so did the brewery.

0,44 boks levert av min favorittpusher i Straensenteret, hjemme: uklar gylden med fint skum som varer helt ned. Deilige frukttoner spiller opp - ananas, aprikos, mango sammen med litt bitterappelsin og et par granskudd. Cremet munnfølelse, fin bitterhet i avslutningen og generelt stor drikkeglede. Nok et vellykket brygg i Calcutta-serien. Ergrer meg grønn på at jeg ikke fikk med meg de første utgavene.

La oss ikke overfokuser på type - for hva er vel type i disse dager? Men jeg antar at en New England Barley Wine eksisterer, og da er dette et ypperlig eksemplar. Så da er det vel en fusion colab eller noe slikt. Akk, merkelapper! Kanskje litt vel heftig?

Still alive, apparently. 150ml, 7.2 %, on tap at Agenturet Øl og Vinbar. Coal black body, spotty lacing from a filmy layer. Malt-fruity aromas, dark fruits and dough. Blended taste of dark malts, spruce and ash. Woody. Balanced malt bitter end with a touch of pine needles. Mouth filling. Nice. (Tromsø 11.10.2019).

Can, courtesy of bergstaden. A hazy orange colored beer with a finger thick off-white to white head. Very fruity aroma, lots of oranges, with tropical fruits,, peach and some banana, sugar, pine cones and some cellar and dried fruits. It's full-bodied, lightly warming, lightly sugary sweet on the palate, with a soft bitterness. Malty sweetness in the back of the flavor, with lots of orange, tropical fruits, pine cones and a touch of resin. Grass and herb hints. Some alcohol too. Lasting finish with a pleasant warmth and lots of fruityness. A pleasant and slightly unusual DIPA, but very nice. 191004

On tap @ Melkebaren. Slightly unclear deep golden body with a small, dense white head. Aroma feels like caramel, dry fruit, syrup and lots of perfumed Bourbon. This is the kind of beer that I need to spend some time just sniffing and trying to figure out the aromas. In this case the perfumed Bourbon is getting more end more dominant at the total impression is getting less complex. Still find in rather pleasant and interesting, just more curious on how this will taste. The flavor was a little bit down from the expectation, lots of Bourbon and alcohol, sweet and boozy actually and not really complex, but totally drinkable. I just need to spend some time with this glass. Full bodied and a bit sticky sweet, boozy aftertaste.
