Viking
A strong, dark-roasted brown ale, hopped with Cascade. Beer, or alu as the Vikings called it, plays a big part in the brewery's portrayal of the rough Danish Vikings. The Viking Age bears witness to a widespread beer and drinking culture: people drank in everyday life and at feasts, before and after battle, in life and in death. In Norse mythology the valkyries serve the fallen warriors drinking horns full of beer in Odin's hall.
