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.

Notater fra RBHD-samling hos Johan, og alt delt broderlig mellom oss tre. 0,44 boks: uklar kobberbrun med fint skum som varer. Velbalanserte inntrykk av mørke karameller, urter og vennlig røykmalt. God maltkropp og laaang ettersmak. Fin bitterhet. Høyst nytbar for meg som egentlig ikke liker røykøl og Stjørdalsmalt.

440ml can, #556, bought at Gulating Sirkus. Shared at a session with Finn. A pearl white head resting over a clear amber-gold body, dotted spots on the glass. Inviting aromas of bread-like malts and citric moments. Mixed taste of herbal hops, oats and a piney backdrop. Medium bodied. Decent, and lunch food friendly. (Tromsø, 27.10.2025)

0,44 velværepatron fra VP Aker Brygge, hjemme mens jeg renskriver notatene fra høstens sving innom Oslobyen: uklar gylden med fint skum. Lett pepret innledning med godt balanserte smaksopplevelser av citrus, malt og barskog i en god maltkropp. Deilig bitterhet i den nokså tørre avslutningen. Godt definert mersmak.

En 0,44 inspirasjonsdose fra VP Aker Brygge, hjemme: nesten helt svart med nydelig, beige cremeskum. Liflig duft av mørke malter, nybrent kaffe, bitter sjokolade, solbær og furunål. Ristet rugbrød og knekk/brente mandler dukker i tillegg opp i smaken, som er superbalansert på den tørre siden og berre heilt lækker. Nok et blinkskudd fra et av mine desiderte favoirttbryggerier.

440ml can, #577, bought at Gulating Sirkus in Trondheim. Shared at a session with Lunde. Synny and Finn. A white tophead leaving lacing rings down the glass, hazy golden body. Inviting aromas of citrus and oats. Fruity accents to the taste character, moments of lemony hops, grapefruit and orange, oats beneath. Mid-dry ending with fair bitterness. Medium bodied. Like it. (Tromsø, 14.10.2025).
