CHRISTMAS

Cooling system is being installed on our new fermenters.  
Without these tanks there would be no Christmas beer.  At this point it looks like we can welcome Christmas yet another year!

Coming star!

The Norwegian beer scene is truly in a dynamic stage. New craft breweries are entering the stage. Espen Lohte started Kinn Brewery about a year and a half ago, and has a great portfolio of well crafted ales. Kinn is a name everyone should get used to right away, because Espen and his beers are likely to be around for a while!

Kinn ferments all beers in open (and home made) fermenters.Yeast is all of top cropping strains. We admire Espen for his loyalty to this traditional method.

Optimism

Norwegian summers are cold and short.  Not ideal for growing hops.  We are probably hoping for too much when we try to grow our own , but it is certainly worth a try!

Our barley, on the other hand is much more promising.  It is just too bad that we have to send it out of the country to get it malted.
