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.

Fra fat på Mi2 Cardinal feb-18: brunsvart med flott skum som varer. Sjokolader, dessertkaffe, bjørnebær - alt i en vellykket balanse. Halvsøt avslutning med lekker, sjokoladeaktig bitterhet. Farlig slank (nærmest elegant) for sin omdreiningshastighet. Frister så absolutt til gjentagelse.
