Hogna Brygg
Microbrewery
in Kotsøy,
Trøndelag,
Norway 🇳🇴
Associated Venue: Hogna Brygg
Established in 2016
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.

440 ml can, batch #48, as Hogna Vixen Juleøl, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 7.0%. Hazy reddish brown colour, large off-white head. Aroma of malts, some of them lightly roasted, notes of brown bread and burnt breadcrumbs. The flavour has brown and roast malts with a slight sweetness. Moderate hops. Not too bad.
