If you drink 6 in a row, you have a damn good chance of getting a viking helmet.

My world history is admittedly shaky at best, but weren't Vikings from Norway?

I am using Vikings interchangeably for Norseman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normans)...

The brew is made in Scotland so that guy on the cover is probably a Celt and not a Viking or Norseman.

[SkaredShtles]

The Vikings pretty much plundered and settled just about everywhere within 100 miles of the coast of every European country. Hell - the town of York in England has a Viking settlement below the current city.

I'd not be at all surprised if the Orkney Islands are littered with the descendents of Vikings.

This one might look good on MudGrrl

I was always under the impression that Vikings originated from Scandinavia, while some of them may have setteled in other parts of Europe along coasts.

SkullSplitter is a Scottish robust ale with a distinctive flavor (8.5% ABV). It is named for Thorfinn Hausakluif (SkullSplitter), the Seventh Viking Earl of Orkney. The Orkney Islands lie off the northern tip of Scotland at latitude 60 North. For 600 years they were ruled by the Viking Earls who owed allegiance to Norse Kings.

These rich green islands were the perfect base from which the Vikings launched their raiding parties down the east and west coasts of Scotland; across to Ireland; down into England, and further south into Europe.

The brewing of ale was a great Viking tradition which the native Orcadians readily adopted, and for centuries each croft and farm has brewed its own special guarded recipe.

Yes.... but there is more...

The Normans (adapted from the name "Northmen" or "Norsemen") were a people who colonized Normandy, conquered England, and played a major political, military and cultural role in the northern and Mediterranean parts of medieval Europe for centuries. Their most famous achievement was the Norman Conquest of England in 1066.

Originally they derived from the indigenous population of Neustria and Vikings originating in present day Denmark and Norway.

I can't say for any Viking history, but a pale ale from the Blue Star Brewing Co split my head open all day Sunday. Actually it was two, but no way should two beers make my head hurt.
