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.

Takk til Håkon for denne drikkegleden på 0,44 boks! Uklar gylden med fint skum som varer lenge. En frisk og spretten sak med deilig aroma og smak av appelsiner, koriander, hvetemalt og granskudd. Superb balanse og saftig, lekker avslutning med mersmak som varer.

Oh holy smoke. My son`s new favorite beer
Because he love smoked whiskey
This beer could easy be mistaken for a heavy peated whiskey
So if you like PEAT- Go for it son

Dagens økt med fasadevask er avsluttet, og jeg benker meg i solkroken med denne 0,44 brukerdosen fra Helgø Meny Hundvåg: lett uklar gylden med fint skum som varer, men dessverre skjemmet av mange ubåter. Småbesk citrus, hint av steinfrukter, hvit pepper og furunål. Halvtørr avslutning med fin bitterhet.

Can. Dark brown, quite clear, small beige head. Lightly smoked aroma, booze, wood, roasted malts and some dark chocolate. Full body, warming, sweet, quite bitter. Smoked, boozy flavor with dark chocolate, roasted malts, a chemical touch and wood. Some bonfire. Lasting finish. A bit messy and not particularly interesting. 250328

Taste is sweet and malty with hint of caramel, lots of citric fruits, some pine, decent bitterness and some alcohol. Balanced body with a fine fruity and bitter aftertaste.
