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, from trade with Bergstaden. Grapefruit, citrus zest and some pine cones. Pleasant maltiness and a good bitterness. A pleasant drinking beer, even at 8% ABV. 747414 250825

0,44 boks fra Kvaddå, hjemme i solkroken: lett uklar solgylden med kort skum. Lynghonning, pasjonsfrukt og mandarin. Tynn maltsmak og kort ettersmak. En skuffende opplevelse fra det ellers så ytterst kompetente Hogna.

150ml draught at HopYard. Upper part lacing from a patchy surface, cloudy dark golden body. Ripe citrus aromas, peachy, inviting. Quite rich taste of apricot, peaches, and juicy malts. Moments of resinous bitterness to a long tail. Well bodied. Like it. (Mathallen, Oslo, 15.8.2025).

200ml draught, outside at Cafe Sara. A steady pear white head over an unclear orange coloured body, fragile lacing. Juice fruity smell, hints of orange and lemon. Similar taste of orange, lemon, and a touch of grapefruits. Distant hop fruity bitterness to the finish. Pretty nice. (Oslo, 14.08.2025).
