This brew is a Gotlandsdricka. These smoked ales are believed to be the beers of the vikings! So naturally, the Old Irving crew teamed up with friends at Hammerheart Brewing in Minnesota — a place that knows a thing or two about vikings. 

The duo started with a crisp, refreshing base brewed with delicately smoked malt and fermented with Kviek yeast. And they conditioned it on juniper and spruce tips for an intricate, botanical brightness.
