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.

Can. Full-bodied, lightly warming, sweet and smooth. Orange, dried apricot. Alcohol and pale malts. Piney hints. Overall, nice, but too boozy. 646414 260503

Can. Pleasant, lightly sour, mostly fruity beer with refreshing qualities. Some gooseberry, borderline rhubarb, in the back and finish. Refreshing, nothing more. 646412 260503

Kveldsolen står høyt og varmer den bleke vinterskrotten, der er gule markblomster over alt, og trærne er også i full blomst. På dager som dette er livet herlig, og jeg forfrisker nervevraket med denne 0,44 enkeltmannspakken mens klippfiskgratengen hygger seg i ovnen: nesten helt klar gylden med fint skum som varer lenge. Syrligfriskt anslag og fin maltkropp kombinert med en saft avslutning. Hva mer trenger man egentlig?

Can. Hefty carbonation that settles fine. Cherry driven aroma and flavor with a hint of pale beer and a wee touch of cinnamon. Not sure I'd recognize the cinnamon if I didn't have a look at the label before pouring. Some sourness. Not my kind of beer, not bad either. 636413 260419
