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.

0,44 boks fra forsyningspunktet på Kvaddå, hjemme: nesten helt klar dyp gylden med fint skum som varer lenge. Brød, urter, hint av barskog. Tørr avslutning som bruker lang tid, godt akkompagnert av Kate Bush på stereoanlegget. Men "fatøl på boks" er et oxymoron på linje med "levende torsk i skiver". Min Hogna nr. 161.

0,44 brukerdose fra VP Kvaddå, hjemme på en solrik terrasse: uklar gylden med fint skum som varer lenge. Spenstig citrus med furunåler og papaya i en myk og smidig maltkropp. Fin bitterhet men den lir lit besk helt i avslutningen.
