## About

I flere år har vi brygget øl i kjelleren på den gamle politistasjonen i Båtsfjord. Brygginga har foregått i samme område der cellene har vært. Lagringen av ølet har vi gjort inne i de gamle cellene. 
Ut fra dette kom ideen om å starte et kommersielt bryggeri og i februar 2019 solgte vi vårt første øl til Båtsfjord Brygge. 

For many years we brew our beer in the old local police-station i Baatsfjord, Norway. We stored the beer in the old cells where "local heroes" used to stay over night - mostly in week-ends. 

Company started in 2017 and our first beer was sold february 2019.

All beer on tap - might come in bottles/cans late 2019 or 2020.

Cheers!
