Nøgne Ø in Wetherspoon Real Ale & Cider festival

We are proud to reveal that we have been asked by J.D.Wetherspoon pubs in the UK to brew our Bitter for their Real Ale & Cider festival (from Mar 14- 1 Apr 2012).  The beer will be brewed in Batemans brewery in Wainfleet, Lincolnshire

Hjemmebryggerdagen fulltegnet på 6 minutter!/ Home brew day fully booked in 6 minutes!

Hjemmebryggerdagen med Mikkel og Beer Geek Breakfast ble i natt fullbokket etter at det hadde vært åpent for påmelding i 6 minutter!
Vi vil i løpet av de neste dagene skrive til samtlige som meldte seg på og bekrefte denne.

Dessverre må vi skuffe noen å informere dem at de kom litt for sent til mølla.......Vi har desverre ikke plass til flere enn 60 personer.

Our homebrewbrewday was last night fully booked in 6 minutes after it was open for registration by midnight.  Some of the last received bookings will unfortunataly be turned down, as we do not have space for more than 60 participants.

Nøgne Ø beer tasting at Galbraith's in Auckland

During a recent beer tasting at Galbraith's  www.alehouse.co.nz  in Auckland, we had the pleasure of meeting lots of brewers,
bar owners, bloggers and beer enthusiasts. We were impressed to see so many of our beers on their menu. Brewer, Ian Ramsay,
took us for a guided tour of the brewhouse. It is impressive how they go to extremes to make authentic British ales!
Again many thanks to Dominic Kelly at Hashigozake for arranging all these great events!

New cooperations- new beers!

New Zealand is full of great craft brewers.

We would not want to miss out on the opportunity to brew with some of these dedicated individuals. For that reason we traveled to Blenheim, the home of Renaissance Brewing Company. http://www.renaissancebrewing.co.nz/default.aspx.

Along with owners Andy and Brian, we met their brewer Søren, 

a Dane who has his own brand, 8 Wired  http://www.8wired.co.nz/ , brewed at the brewery.

As such, our collaboration is a triple: Renaissance/8 Wired/Nøgne Ø.

And what did we brew: A Kiwi ingredient version of the #100! With a bit of luck, we will get some shipped to Norway.

Happy brewers

Brewing with Garage Project

We have just had the pleasure of brewing with Garage Project in Wellington, New Zealand.  The collaboration is a Rye Blonde (No name yet!), made for the warm Christmas season.
Brewing with Pete and Jos was a great experience. New Zealand hops are wonderful!
