    Espedalen Fjellbryggeri

    Espedalen, Innlandet, Norway

    På Ruten Fjellstue har vi vårt eget lille bryggeri som vi kaller "Espedalen Fjellbryggeri". Espedalen Fjellbryggeri ble etablert i 2004 som en del av den kommunale skjenkebevillingen og har siden da brygget øl for servering på Ruten Fjellstue. I 2015 fikk vi også salgsbevilling slik at øl med alkoholprosent inntil 4,7% kan selges i bryggeriet. Ølbryggingen blir ivaretatt av Arthur, som er utdannet Diplombrygger fra Den Scandinaviske Bryggerhøjskole i København. Nesten alt øl brygges for servering på Ruten Fjellstue, men det hender at det er noen flasker for salg i bryggeriet. Arthur brygger flere ulike øltyper og det vil variere gjennom året hva som er tilgjengelig. Det vil som regel si 5-6 ulike øl. Arthurs spesialitet er "Sevjeøl". Dette ølet brygges med bjørkesevje på ulike måter og krydres med Ryllik og Mjødurt.
