About Longship Brewery

Since the 9th century, the Viking longship has been a symbol and a vessel of exploration, trade, and cultural exchange. The pride of the nordic people was their ability to cross the oceans in ways that no other people had done before. With the curiosity of the unknown, this guided them to uncover the world's riches, solidifying their place in history. 

 

​

 

It is this same drive of exploration that fills the sails of Longship Brewery.  We strive to seek out daring and bold ingredients and style combinations. Pushing the limits in order to create uniquely strong smooth flavors with a fearless determination to uncover new lands. Join us on our journey as we at Longship Brewery sail into the foamy unknown.

QUIZ RECAP

In the days of yore, the King of the Geats, Hrothgar built an illustrious mead hall, Hall Heorot. It was legendary. But it came with a dark side - a beast known a Grendel, drawn by the singing of those in Hall Heorot. It would attack, until a hero, Beowulf could defeat the beast once and for all.

So this week for our Beer Round, we told the teams to imagine that Longship Brewery was Hall Heorot. To imagine that our trivia fun was the same as the singing of those in the tale. And that if our singing attracted a monster, what would the SoCal version of the Grendel look like?

You can see example of some of the entries as the photos above, with the winners being The Drinking Illini. They were honored with beer by King Chuckgar and hero Ryanwulf. We made this challenge in honor of Longship Brewery releasing their Grendel brew tomorrow. (Everyone should come and give it a taste.)

We also wanted to give a shout out to Shake N' Bake who used to be regulars, but moved away. They came back to visit and it was great to see them.

Standings for tonight:

First - Indifferent Penguins
Second - 3 Degrees of Separation
Third - Cyber Chemists
