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.

440ml can, #534, bought at Coop Extra, Maxi. StorHamar. Shared with Finn at a session in Tromsø. A remaining pearl white head over an orange-golden body, crocheted lacing. Inviting hop fruity aromas of orange and grapefruit. Rather succulent ripe citrus flavours with a touch of grapefruit. A piney bite to the finish. Drinks well. Pretty nice. (Tromsø, 24.03.2025)

Pleasant hoppy aroma with notes of citrus and tropical fruits, hints of spruce. Light bodied and refreshing. The flavour is medium dry and citric, with a decent bitterness. Nice beer.

Can. Unclear golden body with a big, creamy white head. Fruity aroma with citric and tropical fruit, not very strong – not fresh? Flavor is light and plain with some fresh fruit, moderate bitterness and some pale malt. Drinkable but average.
