Over 100 years of brewing tradition, Brunehaut was founded in 1890 in the small village of Brunehaut, Belgium. The village was named after the paved Roman road that ran between Cologne, Germany and Amiens, France.
Nogne O was the very first craft/micro brewery established in Norway. Unique and extremely well made beers that offer an abundance of flavour and are sometimes extreme in style. Nogne O means "Barren Island" in Norwegian and is mentioned in a line of a famous poem about the Napoleonic Wars. The father of a starving family attempts to run the British blockade of Norway to bring back food for his family. The brewery is suituated in the town of Grimstad where the peom was written and the incident took place.
