ODIN was in the  Norse mythology described as the chief god, the god of
wisdom, war, battle and death and also the god of magic and poetry. He
was also able to change into any form he chose.
Valhalla is Odin's great hall where he invites the great dead warriors to
be entertained.
The two dwarfs Fjalar and Galar possessed the drink of poetry. They
murdered Suttungs parents but Suttung caught the two dwarfs and
threatened to kill them by tying them to a rock and letting the tide drown
them. They persuaded Suttung to spare their lives in exchange for
their mysterious magical drink.
Suttung hid the drink deep inside a mountain with his daughter Gunnlod
standing guard. Odin changed into a snake and slithered inside.  He
persuaded Gunnlod to give him three sips, instead he drank  it all and
changed into an eagle and escaped.
This drink was called the drink of poetry and this shall be our goal, when
you drink this you may well turn into a great poet - on the way home from
the pub :-)  - worth trying!
Stay tuned and we will keep you updated on our progress with this drink
experiment.

Odins Tipple was meant to be a strong
beer, but we changed our minds...its
still strong but we wont follow the mega
strong trend. It should be possible to
make great beer without the extreme
alcohol potency. Odins Tipple is now
approx 11% abv, its a dark almost black
beer from lots and lots of chocolate
malt. Its the malt that contributes the
flavor...no added coffee or anything
else, Its got a great body without being
old  engine oil and still very drinkable
due to the wild yeast we use. This beer
is made with a single strain of wild yeast
and the recipe is dead simple.  We have
now tasted the test beer and its gooood!
We are brewing the beer right now, it
will need a few months ageing so early
in the new year it will be available for
interested beer geeks.
