Homebrewer: Terje Raftevold

Terje Raftevold at the festival in 2017.

Terje Raftevold comes from Hornindal, but now lives in Innvik, where he still brews traditional kornøl the way he learned from his uncle in Hornindal. Terje brewed his first kornøl at the age of 17. He often brews together with Roger Severin Bruland, who is the man behind Brulandselva .

The beer is a classic Hornindal kornøl: a raw ale with juniper infusion and kveik. In this case Terje’s own kveik, which is known as #5 Hornindal .

Terje is also part of Brulandselva bryggeri , which produces a commercial version of Terje’s kornøl. He was featured on Larsblog back in 2015.

Terje had to attend a family wedding, so the beer will actually be served by Roger.
