Each month, Wold Top brews a different Viking inspired beer that is available exclusively online and as part of its monthly bottled beer subscription offer. The third of beers in the 2021 Vikings series is Thor.
“Thor’s deep amber colour is reminiscent of the red hues in the God of Thunder’s hair and beard,” said brewery manager, Alex Balchin. “It’s a delicious balance of biscuity crystal malts and Mystic and Minstrel hops, with notes of orange.
“Our first two Viking beers, Odin and Freyja, were very popular, so we’re hopeful that people looking for something different to enjoy at home will want to try Thor and the forthcoming limited edition beers.
“Hopefully, people will also be able to enjoy the Viking beers in pubs before too long.”
• Thor (4.5% ABV) is gluten free and suitable for vegans. It is available online at woldtopbrewery.co.uk. It also features in the monthly beer bottle club subscription that includes three Viking beers plus nine other Wold Top core and seasonal beers, and in a mini-cask subscription.
