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.

44cl can (many thanks to Finn&Rune for bringing this to Estonia!) Pours clear, dark brown with a modest, tanned head. Roasty aroma with notes of dark dried fruits, licorice, coffee and dark chocolate. Moderate sweet and with medium flavour intensity and a pleasant bitterness. Surprisingly flavourful and tasty. Nice one!

440ml can, #570, bought at Vinmonopolet City Nord. Fading white head leaving spotty lacing on the glassware, close-to-clear golden body. Inviting fresh aromas of grapefruits. The taste profile follows suit with lemony hops, grapefruit and subdued malted wheat. Citric finish with a welcome bitter note. Like it. (Bodø Panorama, 24.11.2025).

Can shared with JMD and Johan at Våland 18.11.25. Hazy dark golden amber. Off-white head. Fine aroma and taste of smoked malt, bonfire, burnt circuit boards and sweet medium dark malt. Well-balanced.
