Description
Lineman was setup in 2019 and we produced our first beer in August of that year. That beer was First Light, a grisette which we sold on draught and bottle. At the same time we also produced a mixed fermentation beer, using a homebrew house kveik culture, called SAGA. So just the two unusual styles to begin with then.
Lineman had been a long-planned project of founder/owner/brewer Mark Lucey. Having been obsessed with beer and heavily involved in homebrewing for all his adult life, it was always an ambition to open a brewery or have a commercial brewing project that would allow him to produce a diverse range of beer. Stouts, Belgians styles, IPAs and Mixed Fermentations.

Mahogany with a short tan head. Aroma of lightly acidic dark fruit. Flavour is thin white barley wine, lacks the same balance and kick of the other version.

Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso il fruttato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana media. Il liquido è di aspetto velato. Il colore è giallo dorato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è intenso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, frutta secca, agrumi, spezie, pompelmo, ananas, arancia rossa e mandarino.

440m can from Vinmonopolet Nettbutikk. Hazy golden body, fair lacing from a covering white head. Peachy nose, with a floral note, inviting. Fruity taste profile with peaches and pineapple, backbone of wheat and oat. Hop fruity tail. Foamy mouthfeel. Just alright. (Tromsø, 18.04.2026).

Et nytt bryggeri er alltid velkommen til statistikken min, og her i form av en 0,44 enkeltmannspakke fra fjernlageret i Verksgata : brunsvart med et mørkerødt skjær og tett, beige skum som varer så lenge det trengs. De mørke malter er som seg hør og bør i førersetet, tett etterfulgt av mørke karamelchokolader, litt furunål og noe urteaktig. Tørr og gledelig avslutning. A stylish stout.

Can @ home. Almost black body under a nice, foamy beige head. Aroma has roasted dark malt, coffee and chocolate. Taste is well balanced, smooth roasted, dark malt, a fine touch of coffee and dark chocolate with balanced bitterness. Fine body and pleasant aftertaste. Very nice, classic stout. Ticks all the boxes, not much to complain about here.

440ml can bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Lacing rings down the glass from a firm, beige head, near-black body. Roasted chocolate malts, mid-sweet, aromas, promising. Fine blended dark malty flavours, moments of chocolate-coffee added by a backdrop of dark fruits, and ash. Gently roasted finish. Fine depth to it. Like it. (Tromsø, 18,03.2026).
