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 enhet fra VP Kvaddå, hjemme i grått sommervær: uklar gylden med fint skum som varer lenge. Deilig aroma og enda bedre smak preget av tropisk frukt, godt moden citrus, mild furunål og hint av gressløk i en myk maltkropp.

Can. Quite tropical-fruity, borderline chewing gum. Passionfruit, pineapple, peach. Feels like French Saison yeast, only a bit more tropical. Easy drinkable, but a bit too much on the fruity side. 646413 260616

Can, thx to Bergstaden. Quite malty this one, caramel, toffee and some dried fruit. Hints of dark bread. Piney, resiny hops. Full body, good bitterness and a bit too much alcohol. Not bad this one, just a tad unbalanced. 747413 260614

Can, thx to Bergstaden. A quite piney one, with a citrusy, tropical twist. Orange zest. Some malty notes and quite a lot of bitterness. Quenching. 647413 260607
