More information about 6x Einherjer Sold
The Einherjer are fallen warriors who are picked up from the battlefield by the Valkyries and taken to Valhalla. There, in Odin's magnificent hall, they feast, play and fight until the All-Father leads them into the great, final battle of Ragnarök. As a symbolic reward for the brave Einherjer who fight alongside the gods, we have brewed this special beer.
Barley wine has always been a very strong and warming beer. It was developed in England in the 18th century when the wine-drinking upper classes were forced to find an alternative to French wine, as they were often at war with France at the time. This exclusive beer is also recommended as a gift for friends and relatives whom you would like to reward with something special.
A vintage beer can of course also be enjoyed young, i.e. shortly after bottling, but it usually only reaches its peak of flavor after a longer storage period. Proper ageing makes the beer softer, rounder and more complex. Sherry, port or cognac notes develop, foam and carbon dioxide are reduced and the beer actually becomes more similar to a good wine.
Due to their long shelf life and enormous flavor maturation potential, vintage beers are therefore often collected and highly prized, just like wines. This beer presumably lasts until after the Ragnarök, so that the remaining Einherjer can fortify themselves with it.

Wacken brewery
We come from Wacken in Holstein, a region mostly off the beaten track. A little country, often gray and sometimes flat like the bland uniform taste of industrial beer, which we endured for far too long, like thirsty Bedouins wandering through the brewery-poor and monotonous desert. Our small craft beer brewery was founded at the beginning of 2016 by three beer enthusiasts in the heart of Wacken in Schleswig-Holstein. After months of planning and seemingly endless conversion work on a former supermarket, the time had finally come in mid-June: the brewing equipment was set up. Since then we have a so-called three-vessel brewhouse with a capacity of 20hl per brew, i.e. a yield of 2000 liters per brewing process. The beer is fermented and stored in five stainless steel tanks with a total capacity of 220hl. In addition, we have decided to operate our own bottling plant in order to be as...
