– English Barleywine 12%

Med inspirasjon frå legendariske Allsopp’s Arctic Ale, som var fast ekspedisjonsproviant for britiske polarekspedisjonar på slutten av 1800-talet, har vi no bryggja dette ekstra kraftige ølet. Sidan det berre er brukt malt som ekstraktgrunnlag her, er bryggjeprosessen intens og tidkrevjande. Både den høge alkoholen og restsødmen til ølet gjer til at det skal klare mange kuldegrader utan å fryse til is. Vårt ekspedisjonsøl vil like mange år i ein mørk og sval kjellar, og vil med åra utvikle tonar av nøtter, fiken, svisker og portvin. Passar til kalde vinterkveldar, gjerne med ein kraftig ost til.

Malt: Pilsner malt and caramel malt

– Belgian triple 9,0%

Named after the Devil, as the label drawing indicates, Bøvelen is a Tripel that demands respect. Once we saw how the Belgian Trappist monks brew their strong beers, we just knew we had to continue the tradition in Kinn Brewery. Despite the high alcohol content, Bøvelen is a refreshing beer. Like a true Belgian Tripel the colour is golden, the notes well-balanced in the Belgian style, with sprightly hoppiness and a tiny hint of sweetness in the finish. The alcohol, by contrast, is well concealed. This Devil’s Brew is a feisty companion to cheese, rich fish dishes and as an aperitif.

– American Steam Beer 4,5%

Our very own Dampen – meaning Steamboat – is reminiscent of the classic Anchor Steam Beer from San Francisco. Following the original lines, Dampen is brewed with lager yeasts at high temperatures. The result is moderate fruitiness from the yeasting process, and a fine malty presence. Dampen evinces a delicate balance of hoppiness and malt, with the hops slightly in the ascendance. German Northern Brewer hops are preferred, tempered with a little American Cascade towards the end of the boil. The resulting brew has a pure, bitter note, combined with a slightly spicy aroma reminiscent of wood, citrus, mint, and blackcurrant. The malt blend includes Pilsner and caramel varieties. Our current Dampen, created for the Fjordsteam Fjordboat Festival in Florø in 2010, quickly became a regular favourite. It is fitting therefore that the label depicts a famous local steamer, DS Atløy. Dampen is an all-purpose table beer that complements a variety of menus, coping especially well with rich or spicy dishes.

– Pale stout 7,0%

Stout, a word that does double duty in England and Norway, originally denoted a strong beer. Either the darker, Porter Stout, or the lighter, Pale Stout. Stouts used to be generally stronger than the regular, everyday ale. Nowadays the term tends to mean a dark, top-fermented brew. Here at Kinn we take our history seriously, so we brew our Gamleguten “Old Boy” Pale Stout like a brown ale, with a taste that is darker than the pale hue would suggest. As a strong, relatively pale ale, it is a proud representative of the Pale Stout family. Gamleguten has a complex, though balanced, malt flavour with hints of milk chocolate, nuts, caramel and a touch of coffee. To the mash we add Pale Ale malt, amber malt and caramel malt, with just the one hop variety from East Kent Goldings. As with all our Anglo style beers, our yeast partner is Wyeast 1318 London Ale III. Gamleguten won a bronze medal in Barcelona Beer Challenge in 2016.

– Gose 4.5%

Is there any better way of enjoying a visit to the majestic Outer Skerries Lighthouse than with a glass of Kinn Calm Sea? Amaze at the eerie presence of the Kinnaklova Cleft Mountain as the sun sinks below the horizon. Havblikk is a light, refreshing Gose-style, top-fermented wheat beer, using soured wort prior to kettle-boiling. Yet this Gose is not sour, but has the merest hint of acidity for that added jest. Spiced with touches of coriander and salt to accentuate the refreshing tang, this exceptional glass is ideal on a hot summer’s day by the ocean, and a perfect accompaniment to light seafood and salad dishes.

Malt: Pilsner, wheat and soured malt

Spices: Salt and coriander seed

– IPA 4,5%

Humleriket – our Hop Heaven – is a light and sprightly IPA in the West Coast style with a robust, hoppy aroma that varies from batch to batch. Despite the powerful hoppiness, this ale is still gentle by nature due to the open fermentation. This IPA is neither pasteurised nor filtered, which perfectly fits the style. Ideal with spicy food.

Malt: Pale Ale malt, Pale caramel malt and flaked oats

– 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.

Malt: Pale ale and caramel

– Triple Saison 9,5%

Jubilation is a seasonal, celebratory beer for those festive occasions. Light, fruity and with a jaunty sparkle, our Jubel is a call-out to the Belgian crafts-beer traditions. Only available in limited batches in generous magnum bottles. Enjoy this seasonal greeting as an aperitif, well-chilled in a tall glass.

– 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.

– 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.

Malt: Maris Otter Pale Ale malt

– 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.

Malt: Maris Otter Pale Ale malt and light caramel malt

– 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.

Malt: Pale Ale malt, wheat malt, oats and sour/ acidulated malt

– Brown Ale/ Brunt øl 4,5%

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.

Malt: Pale ale malt, karamellmalt, mørk karamellmalt, amber malt, lys sjokolademalt og sjokolademalt

– 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.

– IPA/ Indiaøl 4,5%

Splint er eit anna ord for ein omreisande person. Øltypen India Pale Ale har også hatt si reise rundt verda og plukka opp litt her og litt der. Til Splint blandar vi saman engelsk gjær, belgisk malt og humle frå USA og Tyskland til eit artig brygg. Friske, lette smakar i god harmoni. Passar godt som tyrstesløkkjar eller til lettare matrettar.

– 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”.

Malt: Pale ale, caramel, amber, brown and chocolate malt and roasted barley

– 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.

Malt: Pilsner malt, dark caramel malt, dehusked chocolate malt, sugar and dark candi syrup
