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.

Påskeuka 2019 er herlig i solkroken hjemme, en utsøkt anledning til å nyte gode øl! 0,44 boks fra Gulating Stavanger: lett uklar gylden med fint skum som varer hele veien ned i mitt Durham-glass. De liflige inntrykk som traff nesegrevet når jeg åpnet boksen gjentas når ølet sklir frydefullt over ganen. Citrusfrukter, furunål og tropiske frukter sammen med engelsk appelsinmarmelade. Perfekt i solnedgangen.

Hogna I love you. Lovely tasty and easy drinkable hop juice. Solid stuff for hoplovers. Cloudy yeah and a fine nice aroma. A smooth carbonation level made it very easy and pleasant to drink. Semi dry ending. Citric, fruity and pine flavor. [Can from Bergstaden]

Can at a tasting. Mostly malty, chocolatey, caramelly, loads these kinds of flavours. Wood and bourbon present. Rather full body, moderate carbonation. Quite complex, though initially not seeming so. Very tasty, surprisingly easy drinking. Quite good.
