Beer tasting

The world of beer is explored through taste, aroma and a variety of styles that showcase the breadth of the brewing craft. Here you gain insight into ingredients, process and traditions that shape a beer's character, and how it can elevate both food and experiences. It's about slowing down, tasting mindfully and discovering new nuances in every glass.

Brew & Taste

On this course focused on beer we invite you to a sensory and educational experience at Trasti&Trine. The course includes an introduction to our home and the history of the place, before we move on to a tasting of three different beers served with accompanying snacks. Along the way you'll gain insight into barley and hop varieties, the history and geography of beer, and how climate, soil and brewing methods influence flavor and expression. The course is designed to provide both knowledge and experience, giving time to taste, reflect and discover new nuances in the world of beer.

Storytelling

We start all courses by explaining the annual cycle we use — when we harvest ingredients, from birch sap in May to the last mushrooms we pick. We tell stories about the nature around us, about Arctic plants and vegetation, how we use them and how we preserve them, including fermentation, drying and salting.

  • Lunch with foraging

    The seasons in Finnmark are intense and full of flavor. When summer finally arrives, nature comes alive around the clock. Wild salmon migrate up the Alta River, rhubarb grows in the garden and birch sap is tapped directly from the trees. In the forest we find edible plants such as ostrich fern and sorrel. Today's lunch is waiting out in nature — will you join us?

  • Fish cooking course

    The nature of the North provides us with high-quality ingredients throughout the year. From the icy sea we harvest fish with a clean taste and firm texture. Cod, halibut, redfish and other species are shaped by the Arctic climate and the clear waters they live in. This produces fish that is fresh, natural and full of character — reflecting the nature it comes from.
