The well known English beer writer Jeff Evans has been visiting our

magazine Beers of the World. Here you see Jeff and behind him the
well known Norwegian beer writer Gustav Jørgensen in an interesting

We have made a true copy of an
historic yeast stick similar to what they
used in the old days to keep the yeast
in the farmhouse breweries. The stick
is full of large holes were the yeast can
collect. The stick was rolled in the
yeast cake after the beer was drained
off and then hung up to dry and
reused by placing it back into a fresh
wort when needed. We will try this one
day to recreate an old style beer this
way.

now bottled and having it cosy in our
warm zone re fermenting in the bottles.
This version is very different from the
first edition. Its become very strong
and with very little or no acetic
flavours. Its very rounded and smooth
with lots of things going on. We think
this must be the best beer we have
ever made.

We have been waiting a very long time for this moment,
vintage 2008 has now been blended and bottled. We think
the flavour has changed somehow but its just as nice as
the previous vintage. Its now placed in the warm zone to
be carbonated, this normally takes a little longer with a
sour beer. As soon as its done we will ship it out. This is a
beer for your beer cellar, it will age with grace.

Burton ale is one of the yeast types
that we use for many beers and it has
its new home because this is what it
does with every brew now (flowing over)
this is also how it should behave and
the reason for why the Burton Union
system was constructed. Sadly we are
loosing a lot of yeast this way and will
have to find a way to collect it.
The yeast has also rewarded us with
much better quality beer lately,
probably because its satisfied with the
landlord and the way we treat it.

We have been very productive the last few months with lots of new beers
up our sleeve. We did a guest brew with Menno from De Molen called
Menno & Jens, this is a true Gruit ale without hops. Then we did
Krekling, this is made with lots of Crow berry, a fairly rear small dark
berry picked at Finnmarksvidda a mountain plateau beyond the Polar
circle. Our Haandbic also got bottled after more than a year with aging
in oak barrels and is now started to ship out, this is a Lambic style beer
that will develop further in the bottle.
The last new beer is the Røyk Uten Ild (smoke without fire), this is a
heavy smoked beer, more than the Norwegian Wood, infact its as much
smoke as the Weiermann malt will produce. Its 86% smoked malt in this
beer, but dont get alarmed, its nice and easy to drink....even rather
refreshing.

Moving the brewery was a success, things went much better than we
expected. All the new fermenters are in place, the brewhouse is up and
running producing beer, twice as much as before.
The brewery looks just damn good and we are all very eager to work
even harder than before. A bit sad in a way to leave the old brewery
building, but time changes and we must be moving ahead.

Many new beers are underway, we will keep you udated soon
Here you see a panoramic view of our new brewery. The day this
photo was taken we did a friendly brew together with the people
from Närke.
This style Old Ale we did is very promising, its full of different local
ingredients from Sweden and Norway.
