About
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.

Can, courtesy of Bergstaden. A mostly clear, dark golden colored beer with a small off-white head. The aroma is more on the malty side than I prefer, caramel, bread and pale malts, with a pleasant piney, orangey and grapefruity hoppyness. It's full-bodied and nicely carbonated, mostly on the dry side, with a decent bitterness. Wouldn't mind more bitterness. Pine cones, grapefruit, pale malts, some bread and caramel, leading to a hop driven finish with a malty backdrop. A rather throwback-ish IPA, but it's nice anyway. 180602

Can, courtesy of Bergstaden. A clear looking dark amber colored beer with a finger-thick beige head. Toffee, dark dried fruits, bread and a faint meaty touch in the aroma. It's full-bodied, nicely carbonated and semi-dry, with a bitterness level that suits it. Roasted malts, toffee, dark dried fruits, bread and some pine cones and grass in the flavor. Lasting finish, sure on the malty side, and with the added joy of a little metallic touch. A decent store strength beer indeed. 180602
