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.

Hazy golden with a white head - Hop aroma - Malt body with a hop flavour that has some herbal flavours and nice bitterness - Hop flavours and bitterness goes into the finish that ends on the dry side - This was nice

Can, kindly provided by bergstaden. Big, fluffy head. Pleasant, hop-driven, with orangey citrus and tropical fruit. Quite piney too. Gentle maltyness, and as usual a bit on the thin side. I'd love to see this series at 5.5 to 6% ABV instead of 4,7%, with more body. Nice anyway. 646414 251205

Otherwise a quite typical neipa
Fruity, lactose and citric

440ml can, bought at Vinmonopolet Trondhjem Torg. Shared at a rating session with Lunde and Finn. Patchy off-white head slowly fading over a near-black body, dotted spots on the glass. Attractive aromas of well smoked malts with a herbal vibe. Powerful taste profile of smoked dark malts added by chocolate and liquorice. Lingering smoked malty finish with warmth from the alcohol. Good drinking. (Tromsø, 04.12.2025).
