Nogne from Norway

Published: 29 Jul 2015

 Nøgne Ø is Norway's leading and largest supplier of bottle conditioned ale

The name Nøgne Ø means "naked island", a poetic term used by Ibsen to describe any of the countless stark, barren outcroppings that are visible in the rough sea off Norway's southern coast. With roots in home brewing, Gunnar Wiig and Kjetil Jikiun started their brewery in 2002, with a  vision to bring diversity and innovation into commercial brewing in Norway.

With a mission statement of "The Uncompromising Brewery" their aim is to craft ale of the highest quality, personality and individuality, and decided to only produce top-fermented and bottle conditioned recipes in order to achieve complex, fruity and full bodied beers.

The Stout, Brown Ale and Porter are now available from Nectar in this distinctive, uber modern packaging.

Skål as they say!
