Finally....and very delayed
our new brewery is up and
working, we experienced a
few hick-ups the first time
we brewed, but now its all
on track. Its still a manual
brewery but we have
improved it, its a lot less
labour intensive now.
Very soon the brewery will
be consecrated the
traditional way

Another historic day at the brewery, last week we made our first sour beer in
the style of a fruit lambic with a local twist to it. This beer is what we would
describe as a Haand-bic. Its made with local berries, mostly red currants and
some mountain cranberry. Both are very tart fruits, we hope this will also be
the flavour of this beer. Its now fermenting with our single strain wild yeast, then
it will be transfered to 8 wine barrels for aging and inoculated with our wild and
funky yeast blend. We expect it will stay in the oak barrels for 18 months.

Lovely fresh juice mmmm...
This is the juice for our
new beer called
HaandBic, we use 300kg
or more than 600 lb of
fresh fruit. The beer is
now aging quietly in our
wine barrels and hopefully
the content will be
transformed into
something good given the
necessary time and
patience

If this isnt a forceful ale i dont know!!
The legend describes Odin as a
forceful and complicated being. We
think this also goes for our beer made
for Odin, as you can see this beer
does not like to be confined to the
fermenter. Read more about the beer

The Aquavit Porter is now bottled and ready. This is a special
beer....more special than we imagined when we started this
project. Its got lots of flavour, to start with its a fair bit acetic.... it
would be after 10 months in oak barrels. It has a powerful
aroma and a fruity flavour, it also has all the portery darker malt
flavours and of course the Akevitt is there and also a good
share of wood, together they make a very complex flavour.
