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 enkeltmannspakke fra fjernlageret på Kvaddå, mens jeg rydder i garasjen (kun 5 uker til vi flytter!): lett uklar kobberfarge med eksemplarisk skumkrone helt til siste dråpe. Et silkemykt maltdrevet øl med klassisk bitterhet. Eminent nytbart - gratulerer med jubileet, Hogna!

Can @ home. Very dark amber, close to black body under a big, lacing, dense beige head. Nice aroma of malt and pine with a fruity touch. Taste is balanced sweet malt, gently roasted, lots of piny hops, hint of fruit and pleasant bitterness. Balanced body and nice, bitter aftertaste. A nice, classic well balanced black IPA.
