walkürenschluck - strong ale

Valkyries are particularly fascinating figures in Norse mythology. These spirit beings were created by Odin, the Allfather, to guide the souls of fallen warriors from the battlefield to Valhalla. Valhalla is a magnificent palace where brave and valiant fighters reside. Odin and his wife Frigg live there, sharing their table and home with the fallen. In return for food and drink, the Vikings entertain their divine hosts with duels. The Valkyries are not only companions and pours of mead; they also choose who must compete in the daily combat for the entertainment of the divine couple. They appear in countless paintings and depictions: most often portrayed as beautiful women with flowing hair, riding galloping steeds across battlefields and brandishing their spears.

As fans of Norse mythology, the Wacken Brewery naturally knows and loves the Valkyries. The team has dedicated a Nordic Strong Ale to these breathtaking figures, one that the warriors in Valhalla would surely enjoy. This top-fermented brew, cold-hopped with Cascade and Summit hops, boasts a robust 7.8% ABV and impresses with an aromatic profile that seamlessly blends pronounced bitterness, fruity sweetness, spicy grain, and soul-soothing alcohol into a delicious whole.

Valkyrie's Drink – as enchanting as Odin's Valkyries!
