– Søtt stautøl 9,0%
I tidlegare århundre i England vart det bryggja ein del søte stautvariantar og desse vart marknadsførte som styrkande drikke til ammande mødre og sjuke. No skal ikkje vi gå god for akkurat det, men vil heller seie at Invalidstaut er eit mjukt og søtleg staut porterøl. Det har ei fin fruktigheit frå vår Londongjær og ekstra fylde frå tilsetjinga av laktose og kakao. Dette er eit fint øl i lag med mørke dessertar.
Malt: Pale ale, krystall- og sjokolademalt, byggflak, røsta bygg, laktose og kakao.

– English Barley Wine 10%
Barley wine was brewed from a range of ingredients, but our favourite is the English variant of this beer. Our barley wine is made exclusively from English ingredients. The residual sweetness is high, and with a few years of maturation those noble oxidisation flavours emerge. Sherry and liquorice are desirable characteristics of this fine, well-matured barley wine.

– Scotch ale 6,5%
Originally all Christmas Beers aspired to be strong, dark and malty. Our purple-label Julefred 6.5 % has been brewed in the Yuletide tradition, and is designed first and foremost to provide a perfect accompaniment to the traditional Western Norway Christmas fare. We have created a holiday beer in the Scottish style, with prominent sweetness from the malt sugar, and a moderate yeast note. The result is rich flavours of dark malt that highlight the taste. Do not chill, or the finer points of the malt flavour will be lost.

– Belgian Pale Ale 5,5%
Kveldsbris – Evening Breeze – is offered as a clean, refreshing and not-too-alcoholic Belgian ale. It has a fine balance of Belgian yeastiness with the premier hop varieties from three wildly different districts: East Kent Goldings on England’s south coast, Saaz from Zatec in the Czech Republic, and Amarillo from Yakima Valley in the United States of America. Kveldsbris is a most versatile table ale that can cope with more spiciness and richness than a regular wheat beer.

– Stout ale 4.5 %
There is only one way to greet our dark brown Landkjenning – with a rousing cry of Land Ahoy! This
dark brown ale boasts a rich roasty taste and excellent body, magically concocted from classic Black
and Amber malts, and East Kent Golding hops. An everyday favourite that many never tire of, and
with a well-earned reputation as the ideal complement to barbeque meats and strong, spicy dishes, a
fine stout is perfect with taco dinners, for instance.

– American Pale Ale 5,5%
It’s an easy matter to get caught up in our maelstrom of hoppiness, less easy to put it down. Kinn’s Malstraum is a refreshing, zesty, cloudy amber APA with a tropical, fruity, hoppy aroma and crisp white foam. Lightly malted, but with a touch of bitters for aftertaste and drinkability. We selected Zeus, Cascade, Chinook, Simcoe and Citra for our hop list. Though principally intended to stand alone, Malstraum pairs well with spicy fare and barbecue dishes.

– Belgium blonde 4,5%
The legend of Sancta Sunniva tells of an Irish princess and her loyal courtiers who fled across the sea, finding refuge on the islands of Selja and Kinn. The legend says nothing of drink, but it is a well-known fact that beer brewing was common in the monasteries, and the monks who came to Selja in the 1100s made a brew from hops grown on the island. Our Monk harks back to the Belgian Trappist Monastery and reflects what those pious individuals imbibed on a daily basis. At Kinn Brewery we employ the same yeast and same fermentation vessels as our ancient brothers, combined with bottle conditioning for that explosive taste. Monk is moderately hopped to avoid overpowering the subtle yeast tones. Just a dash of caramel malt generates an intriguing palate for all-round table appeal. The ideal foil for light fish and shellfish dishes, Monk is served best between 6-8 °C.

– Pilsner 4,5%
Murar is a light, refreshing lager with a slow afterglow of pure hops. It goes without saying that our Bricklayer is unfiltered and bottle-conditioned. Choice ingredients combined with long, near-freezing, traditional fermentation mean a rich palate of hoppy notes, just as in ancient times. Fine lager takes commitment, and we cut no corners. Initial fermentation at 10 °C is followed by up to 2 months in cold-storage. Be sure to decant from the bottle with a foamy head to best accentuate the subtle flavours. Kinn Murar works well as a fine complement to fish and shellfish dishes.

– English IPA 6,5%
Our Eastertime Påske Øl has its roots in the original India Pale Ale created in England in the 1800s. As the name suggests, it is pale with a light malt body and generous helpings of English hops. The hoppiness is different here than in most modern IPAs since it uses English – not American – hops. Kinn Påske Øl has a pale, cloudy appearance and is delicately hoppy. Relatively high bitterness is combined with many floral, citric and marzipan nuances from the hop gardens of Kent. Only available for Easter.

– Pale Ale glutenfree 4,5%
Pilegrim is a light, refreshing Yorkshire-style regular and the very first beer to come out of Kinn Brewery when we started in 2009. The very best malt in the business is the key: Maris Otter Pale Ale malt from Thomas Fawcett, plus light caramel malt. There is crisp bitterness, and a fresh aroma of hops. Traditional English hops like Target and Fuggles are combined with the right mix of spices, earthy flavours and floral essence. We add an aromatic tang of American citrus from Centennial and Amarillo. A special enzyme digests the gluten in the barley to below 20 ppm, making Pilegrim Bitter a gluten-free option perfect for sensitive pilgrims. Ideal for white meat, pizza, pasta, and lightly spiced dishes.

– Pale Lager 4,5%
In terms of style, Kinn Pils is a mix of classic Germanic and Czech summertime pilsners. The malt and hops are German, the yeast Czech. Where light German pilsners are filtered, in Czechia the premium varieties are unfiltered. Our unfiltered Pils is conditioned in the bottle to maximise the fine nuances of the first-rate ingredients and extended, cool fermentation. Lager beers take time, and we make no compromises on quality with Kinn Pils. The first pitch at 10 °C is followed by up to 2 months of near-freezing storage in vats before tapping into bottles. This is the drink for anyone wanting a light, fresh-tasting beer with intriguing character. Ideal for those who have overdone the Triple Indias and sturdy Stouts recently.

– Brown Stout 6,0%
The recipe for Prestesonen, our Parson’s Son stout, is simplicity itself: 40 % Pale Ale malt, 30 % brown malt and 30 % amber malt, copious doses of East Kent Golding at the start of the boil, and English top-yeast. The dry-roasted malt creates an intense aroma and complex flavours. To many this might be too much of a good thing, but for fans of English stout, the blend is perfect. Our 2015 and 2016 vintage Prestesonen is maturing slowly and is now available. Ideal for dark meat dishes and chocolate desserts.

– Belgian Dubbel glutenfree 7,0%
Pryl – meaning a jolly good thrashing – is our come-back after placing as runners-up to Ringnes in the Bryggeribråk contest in autumn 2014. Pryl is partly a homage to the winner, partly the table beer we wish we had entered in the Brewery Bash competition. Belgian top-fermentation is recognised as delivering a really good table beer, and Pryl makes a fine partner with most meat dishes. Classic Belgian Dubbel is a dark ale, much of whose depth stems from the dark candi syrup added to the mash. Hops are discreet so the flavour is mainly from the intense fermentation process. We allow the heat to rise unimpeded to 28 °C before chilling. A special enzyme brings the barley gluten below 20 ppm for a gluten-free option.
Malt: Pilsner malt, dark caramel malt, dehusked chocolate malt, sugar and dark candi syrup

– Raspberry Beer 4,5%
Rosa Kinn really appropriately translates as Rosy Cheeks – perfect for a light, sprightly summer ale resonant with raspberry zest. Starting with a light malt base, acidified with lactic acid culture in the kettle, we add tart local raspberries from Fresvik in Sogn. The result is a refreshing, fruit-filled sour ale, resplendent with raspberries. Rosa Kinn works well as an excellent aperitif or complement to fruit desserts.

– Belgisk gardsøl 7,5%
Saison Extra er ein sterkare versjon av klassisk belgisk gardsøl. Den har ein kompleks aroma av frukt og krydder og eit lett søtleg maltpreg. På dette ølet brukar vi ei gjær frå eit fransk bryggeri som lagar eit ekstremt utgjæra øl, men som likevel smakar mjukt og mildt. Saison Extra er særs godt følgje til krabbe, klippfisk, mange rettar av svinekjøtt og kylling. Jamvel modne, mjuke ostar vil passe godt. Eit svært anvendeleg matøl til mange ulike rettar.

Sjelefred er ei svært smaksrik øl trass i det moderate alkoholinnhaldet. Smaken er maltfokusert med ulike nyansar av karamell og røsta malt. Vi har blanda seks ulike sortar malt for den rette balansen. Humletilsettingane med Northern Brewer og Fuggles er moderate for å ikkje ta fokuset bort frå malten. Husgjæra vår frå London bidreg med sine typiske engelske fruktige tonar. Ikkje drikk Sjelefred for kald, då misser du dei fine maltnyansane. Serverast til storfe, lam, vilt og mørke gryterettar.

– White India Pale Ale 6,5%
Skoddehav – Mist – is our alternative “misty” IPA, lighter in colour than our regular brand. Normally IPAs use English or American indigenous yeasts, but Skoddehav uses our Belgian Trappist High Gravity variant. Its special feature is the dry ale that results, which nevertheless has a touch of sweetness. The recipe features Pilsner, wheat and oat malts. Hops are a blend of two aromatic varieties, Cascade and Citra. Skoddehav emerges as a pale, refreshing ale with light body, balanced yeast imprint and a strong, fresh hoppy aroma. An excellent choice for spicy Asian seafood dishes, chicken and pork.

– Belgian Farmhouse Ale 6,0%
Our Slåtteøl Belgian Farmhouse Ale is a light, thirst-quenching, hay-making season favourite in the Belgian Saison tradition. Allowing Trappist yeast to run free to 26 °C, means an attenuated and spicy ale. It is very dry, almost acidic. We use Pilsner malt as the basis, adding small amounts of sour malt, wheat malt, caramel malt and Bayer malt. A hint of chocolate malt produces a deep golden colour. Northern Brewer bitter hops provide an edge, whilst East Kent Goldings impart a classic, balanced aroma with floral and spicy hints.

– French Farmhouse Ale 7,5%
Often in Norway the Christmas dinner features fish or fowl. Solsnu is a beer designed specifically for these Winter Solstice dishes. The style builds on the bière de garde, or “beer for keeping” favoured by French farmers. Its characteristic slight fruitiness from the yeasting process melds with a moderate, yet noble, hoppiness and robust malt body. Traditional Christmas beers tend to be ideal for meat dishes, and to make up for this we introduced Solsnu before Christmas 2014 as a lighter, deep midwinter alternative for fish and poultry lovers.

In this season of good cheer, we love to compose a seasonal ale designed for pure enjoyment, and our
Stjernenatt perfectly sets the stage for a wonderful fireside evening. This stout may be as dark as a
winter's night, but the subtle blend of spices warms and stirs the holiday spirit. Dark malts
predominate, with a festive tint of liquorice, coriander, and star anise. Cuddle up in front of the fire at
home, or bring a reindeer hide to a bonfire on a clear, starry night.

– Foreign Extra Double Imperial Russian Export Stout Porter 10%
Svartekunst – Black Magic – is a Porter Stout we brewed initially in summer 2011, to celebrate our Batch Number 100. Each year sees a new vintage, and the detailed recipe is adjusted each time, so that later tasting sessions can make some really interesting comparisons. As the label suggests, this is a highly potent and powerful beer. The bitterness, however, will fade in the cellar, and the vinous tones will amplify. Coffee, burnt notes, smoke and leather are the dominant flavours. Residual sweetness is heavy, while the hops are dry with a bitter finish. We believe this stout can improve for 20 years, hence the legend “Best After” rather than “Best Before”.

– Belgian Quadrupel 10,5%
Among the most complex beers in the world are the strong, dark Belgian Quads. Our Feast of Thomas is brewed well before Christmas and allowed a generous period in which to mellow and mature. The well-rounded flavour that results emphasises nuttiness, dark, dried fruits, and a vinous character. The recipe may be rudimentary, but the ingredients are first class. Yet Tomasmesse is a highly complex beer, not least as the fermentation is allowed to reach 28 °C, and the product is cellared for an extended maturation phase. Tomasmesse is a joy by itself, with rich meat dishes, and with desserts such as cake or cloudberry cream.

– Saison 6,0%
I Det gamle testamentet har vi lese om korleis det kjem sju gode år og sju dårlege år. 2020 vil gå inn i historiebøkene som eit uår, og la oss håpe det blir med det eine. Uår er ein godt humla saison, som er litt tørr og stram i karakteren. Denne gongen har vi brukt ei blanding av Tettnanger, Goldings og Bobek. Tettnanger gir delikat krydder, Goldings jord og blomster og Styrian Bobek litt appelsin. Dette var det vi ville få fram i lag med gjæringskarakteren til fermentis T-58. Maltbasen er veldig enkel: pilsner malt med litt svartmalt slik at fargen endar opp som lys gylden. Uår er eit fabelaktig matøl, eller kan berre brukast som eit vanleg øl.

– American India Pale Ale 7,0%
Norway’s West Coast has lent its name to this very hoppy ale, historically designed to withstand the long passage to India. Accordingly, the fine, fruity nuances from the open fermentation are rather more difficult to discern. The malt mixture, incorporating Pale Ale malt and two varieties of caramel malt, are necessary to balance the power of the hops, which are added during the final half-hour of the boil to enhance the flavour and aroma. Once the primary fermentation has occurred, the ale spends nine days with dry hops in the tank, infused with Amarillo, Cascade, Simcoe and Zeus,, before being tapped into bottles and kegs for natural carbonation. Given that this India Pale Ale is brewed in Norway’s westernmost town, the designation West Coast IPA is most appropriate. The powerful imprint of hops is an ideal accompaniment to spicy dishes, and, surprisingly, also the perfect adjunct to cured ribs of mountain-grazed mutton. Vestkyst even excels with blue cheese and carrot cake.

Designed to showcase a classic west coast character, it’s brimming with salted citrus, praline, and oily smoke.
Nose: Flamed orange peel, salted lemons, and charred driftwood, with stone fruits, sawdust, and a touch of smoky tar.

Galician hops make the difference in the new Vermouth Rivera.
The final result is a vermouth with a complex flavor and aroma in botanicals (Artemis, Wormwood, Lily of Florence and St. John’s Wort, among others) and a touch that makes it different due to its elegantly bitter background, marked by the use of hops from the Cascade variety, grown by our company in Galicia.
The product is presented in a 75 cl bottle with a classic and retro image that also seeks to reinforce sustainability values, promoting its reuse thanks to the opening plate by means of a mechanical stopper, which allows the container to be reused once the product has been consumed.
Vermouth is an elegant drink with a long tradition that has reconquered the aperitif hour and is a perfect complement to cocktails. Its basic formula dates back to Hellenic antiquity but its commercial origin is located in Italy, before spreading to the rest of the world.

Basically, it’s rather tasty and deserves to be drunk, whatever the weather.
Nose: Wonderfully sweet Madagascan vanilla with clove and cinnamon spices supported by intense orange peel. Extremely inviting.

Rumbullion! is an extraordinary cockle-warming spiced rum, but those clever Ableforth’s folks have changed the game with this limited edition Chilli & Chocolate expression!

Excellent served over ice, and it makes some marvellous cocktails too. Also, we reckon it’ll be stunning as a winter warmer splashed in a hot chocolate…
Nose: Intense bittersweet dark chocolate leads with coffee beans, nutmeg, red cola cubes and orange zest in support. Earthy red chilli warmth emerges underneath and is balanced by creamy vanilla.
Palate: Black Forest gateau, drying cocoa and more thick slabs of dark chocolate are at the core, with gingerbread, cherry cola and hints of aniseed and clove in the back-drop.

The first release from That Boutique-y Rum Company’s Signature Blend range is here! Unlike the limited edition releases that make up most of That Boutique-y Rum Company’s selection, these expression will be continuous release, so you come back to them time after time – and after tasting them, you’ll definitely want to.

It makes a phenomenal Daiquiri, we’ll tell you that!
Nose: A delicately sweet and incredibly fresh and fruity nose opens with canned sugar cane juice, Conference pears and foam banana sweets, then dried pineapple rings, a little watermelon and a touch of pink grapefruit tartness. Green notes appear underneath with black olives, classic Martinique grassiness, a hint of seaweed and some eucalyptus leaves.
Palate: Pear drops, pineapple and banana bread develop from the nose before some vanilla oak appears on alongside green apples, white grapefruit, stewed winter fruits, salted caramel and a little heat and spice from ginger root.
Finish: A touch of funky Agricole joins a prickle of black pepper spice, more olives, kiwi fruit and sugarcane sweetness.
Overall: Bright and balanced, this blend will make the Daiquiri you deserve.

An underlying note of sugarcane is present among darker notes of game meat, coffee beans and returning dark chocolate, before herbal notes of black tea and eucalyptus emerge.
Finish: Salted caramel, tropical fruit and drying oak.
Overall: Dark, deep and refined, this is one delightful blend. The mightiest of Mai Tais awaits.
