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.

[Courtesy of bergstaden] Pours hazy golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt, peach, pineapple and tropical fruits. Taste is light sweet and medium bitter with a long tropical fruity and light grainy finish. Body is light, texture is thin, carbonation is soft.

Can, thx to Bergstaden. An unclear golden-orange beer with a small, white head. Fruity, orangey, grassy and lightly husky aroma with some piney hints. It’s medium bodied, smooth and with a perhaps a bit low carbonation level. Decent bitterness in the mouth, with flavors of orange, some grass and a touch of pale malts. Long fruity finish. A decent one indeed, but a boring beer style. 170311
