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.

Poured from a can at Bryggerifestivalen 2017. Opaque brown coloured body with a rustic shade. Diminishing fawn-coloured head. Dotted spots on the glass. Smell of dark fruits and brown malts. Rich taste of red berry fruits, earth and dark malts. Slightly roasted malt-fruity bitterness to the ending. Well bodied. Smooth on the swallow. Decent. (Trondheim 03.08.2017).

0,44 boks fra Coop Mega Jærhagen, hjemme mens vørteren koker: en superfrisk citrusaroma brer seg i det jeg åpner boksen, dette lover godt! Uklar korngul med flott skum som varer. Smaken følger opp det gode førsteinntrykket - her er det citrusfriskhet (sammen med tropiske frukter) som som leder an fra første til siste dråpe. God maltkropp, hvor hveten bidrar til den myke avrundingen. Et svært lettdrikkelig og lekkert sommerøl. Kunne godt tenkt meg denne i en 5,5%-utgave!
