Hogna Brygg
Microbrewery
in Kotsøy,
Trøndelag,
Norway 🇳🇴
Associated Venue: Hogna Brygg
Established in 2016
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. A hazy pale golden colored beer with a small white head. The aroma is piney and grapefruity, with a hint of grass and pale malts. It's dry and medium to full-bodied, nicely carbonated and with a good bitterness. Pine cones, grapefruit and some grassy, lightly melon-ish hints in the flavor, with a nice touch of pale malts. Lasting finish. A bit too straight forward this one, perhaps, but it's refreshing and quite tasteful anyway. 241027

Endelig en ny Hogna! De er blitt vanskelig å få tak i her i området, så det ble en sykkeltur til Kvaddå. Vel verdt det, viser det seg: klar kobbergylden med fint gardinskum som varer til bunns. Deilig aroma og superb smak med rikelige mengder furunål/kvae/granskudd, grapefrukt, Karamell og engelsk appelsinmarmelade i en tiltalende maltkropp. Slett ikke så bitter som 77 IBU kanskje kunne tilsi. Nydelig balansert, med andre ord. Hognakvalitet fra første til siste dråpe. En tabbe å bare kjøpe en boks.
