New press release from Gourmetbryggeriet telling the story! It seems like they have the best intentions concerning Olfabrikken!

I'm happy to read this! :0)

@beerlover: It is true that it was brewed at Gourmetbryggeriet. One thing I have noticed is that the beer is more clear and less rubust that it used to be. Both facts are apparent for instance in the Brown Ale.

Christian has really been an innovator and has been experimenting with new kinds of beer almost on a weekly basis. Many very interesting beers have com from this.

Your point that there wil be no changes is really the whole point in why I am not happy about it. There is a great chance that the known beers will be kept on the market, but my fear is that we will see close to zero new ones.

Mike is a good brewer - no doubt about that. In fact he has taught me a thing or two about brewing on a bit larger scale than you kitchen table.

It seems a though Christian has been run over by the bussiness interests of Gourmetbryggeriet. I guess I am not enough of a businessman to ignore that nagging feeling in the back of my head.

I hope to be proven wrong!

I don't see any problem in the new ownership. Why should Gourmetbryggeriet change anything? Everything from Olfabrikken is being made at Gourmetbryggeriet and it has been like this for over half a year. Last time i visited the brewery Christian wasn't brewing but Mike did control everything. I don't think anybody has noticed a change since Gourmetbryggeriet was offered to buy 50% of olfabrikken, only a more systimatic approach to life. :0) Why should there then happen any changes now? The haven't brewed at the old Olfabrikken since Gourmetbryggeriet was offered to buy the 50%. I personally think that we still will be able to drink the same great beers from Olfabrikken, I know that I am gonna keep on enjoying them!

So did I. Besides being just like me, they are great guys, making great beers.

Christian will be missed. I hope that his contract permits him to active in the brewing community.

Sad indeed :(

The geek in me liked that fact that Ølfabrikken was founded by IT guys, who sold their company to start a brewery. Not that I have anything against Gourmetbryggeriet.. but still.
