Kjetil Jikiun started his career as an airline pilot in Scandinavian Airlines. In the 1990s he got introduced to craft beer via his many flights to the USA. In 2002 he founded Nøgne Ø, Norway’s first craft brewery. His efforts in educating the Norwegian beer drinkers is respected as the most significant catalyst for the change of Norwegian beer culture. For that he is often referred to as the grandfather of Norwegian craft brewing.
Later his many flights to Japan got him in touch with sake, and in 2010 he started brewing sake with Nøgne Ø as the first in Europe.
In 2015 Kjetil resigned from Nøgne Ø, purchased a vineyard and opened Solo, a craft brewery on the island of Crete in Greece.
