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.

RBHD-samling hos RB-Bryne, deep into enemy territory but surrounded by comrades in arms with still some ground to cover: 0,44 boks - uklar gylden med fint skum somvarer. Interessant og velsmakende humlekombo (Jester har jeg alrid vært borti, mens BC bruker jeg med stort hell i mine stouts). Det viser seg raskt at BC fungerer utmerket i en lys øl også. Granskudd, bjørnebær, bitterappelsin og hint av gressløk. Hogna overbeviser gang på gang.

0,44 boks fra Gulating Stavanger, hjemme: knall bringebærrød med rosa skum. Bringebær (f.eks fra Vølstad gård!) er noe av det beste jeg vet, og her er der rikelige mengder hele veien både i aroma og smak. Syrligfrisk og lettdrikkelig, om enn nokså endimensjonal, men assosiasjonene til øl blir nokså fjerne. En aperitif for muntre og sommerkledte damer&herrer.
