This is our Porter or  Norse Porter in the US.
The old farmhouse breweries of Norway made
many special beers and they where all dark,
hearty, earthy beers like this classic porter full of
dark malts. It was customary to make special
beers for special occasions like weddings,
christenings and even funerals.
Made from: Marris otter pale, munich, crystal and
brown malt + some chocolate malt and lots of
hops for bittering and aroma.

Norwegian Wood is our recreation of the most
traditional Norwegian beer of all.
Once every farm was required to brew its own ale
(and many still do), all of that ale had a natural
smoky taste from kilning the malt over open fire,
and most of it was spiced with juniper twigs and
berries.
Made from smoked malt, munich malt, crystal and
chocolate malt.
6,5% alc, 35 ibu, 36 ebc color.
Haandbryggeriet: Norwegian Wood is brewed all the time (if the juniper bushes aren't
covered in deep snow)
Serving temp: cellar cold 10-12C or 50-55F
Goes well with smoked or cured meat / serrano ham, cured sausage, roasted pork etc.

Our India Pale Ale has the local touch by
featuring our local wild hop that grows along the
banks of a near by stream. We use such a lot of
hops in this ale that our kettle can't take it, we
therefore do mash hopping which gives a great
taste and aroma.

Our Weizen bock is a strong dark brown hearty
wheat bock with a nice smooth and malty taste
from the munich and aromatic malts, yet the
wheat yeast makes it rather quenching in spite
of the malty fullness. Big malty beers can often
be cloying, this is not the case with wheat bock.
