Token Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Iv been thinking of putting beer kegs on a crusader, and think it would be fun to paint them as beercans, since my marines are kinda wolves/vikings, i want norse sounding beer names. One i might use is norrlands guld, which means northlands gold, but not sure of that on, cause the bottle is golden color and i have heard that its hard to get gold to look good. Another could be carlsberg, which means mansmountain, probably a last name.. Are there other norse sounding beers out there?

Simo429 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Carlsberg sponsored Liverpool in Istanbul, I could see them sponsoring the Wolves of Fenris in the galaxy.

CainTheHunter Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Carlsberg sponsored Liverpool in Istanbul, I could see them sponsoring the Wolves of Fenris in the galaxy. Probly best beer in the galaxy? No, certainly not :blush: Simple search revealed following types - Hvidtøl, Julebryg, Nisseøl, Påskeøl. Breweries - Thor Bryghus, Nørrebro Bryghus, Arendals, Nøgne Ø, Frydenlund. There are more - just search for beer in Demark, Norway etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223205-norse-sounding-beer/#findComment-2668854 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Those brands, when translated, lose some of their edge. :blush: Hvidtøl = White-beer Julebryg = Christmas Brew Nisseøl = Elf-beer Påskeøl = Easter-beer Now I am no great beer drinker but, the one type I know of that could work in relation to 40K is, Skibsøl, or Ship's Beer.

CainTheHunter Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I love when Scandinavians are talking about their beer, swedes especially, cause the only beer they get in Sweden is Danish Tuborg . Then all of them cross the Baltics and get totally drunk after drinking local beer.

ItchiBuh Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Well, there is a Danish beer called "Bjørnebryg", which translated means Bear brew. The logo for the beer is a polarbear. That could be a good choice for the wolves.

TheLastHuzzah Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I would go with Dansk Mjød (Viking Blod). I have a bottle of it sitting at home that keeps calling to me; but I am trying to resist opening it until I have a good reason.

Machine God Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 My that stuff looks great! A decent American Beer (Not an Oxymoron!). I'd go for the 3 Litre Bottle definately over the American Short Pint one. Not everything in the US is bigger, a US Imperial Pint is 22 fluid ounces whereas an British Imperial Pint is 23 fluid ounces.

Then all of them cross the Baltics and get totally drunk after drinking local beer. Watch your tounge you insolent one ( :P ). Some of the world's best microbreweries are in Sweden, just because the general mass buys utter crap made in denmark, germany or holland does not change the fact that we have, for example, the world's best rated porter (Stormaktsporter from Närke Kulturbryggeri http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/narke-kaggen-...sporter/58057/). In general baltic nations beer is incredibly tasteless, good beer hails from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Holland, Belgium, USA, Czech Republic, Scotland and England (note that I'm ONLY talking about beer brewed by microbreweries). Aaaaanywhoooo, I stand by my list which is a few selected brews that are most excellent.

Jelle1880 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 If you really want them to have this Scandinavian touch, make them have home-brew alcohol, the stuff that makes you go blind.

CainTheHunter Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 In general baltic nations beer is incredibly tasteless. You know, one of the best stuff I've ever tasted was in Tallinn, in their medieval tavern. It was from microbrewery, extremely thick and dark - so it was rather mead than beer. I still remember it's taste and implications :ph34r: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223205-norse-sounding-beer/#findComment-2669911 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muller Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 ...Mead isn't thick and dark mate :ph34r: I brew my own mead, and of you go by original recepies you will get a sweet, almost water-like (both in color and body) brew. What was the brew called (I'm a beer geek, one of those fellas who gladly pays 70 euro for a single bottle if it promises much, I also review beers so I'd love to find a good estonian brew).

What was the brew called (I'm a beer geek, one of those fellas who gladly pays 70 euro for a single bottle if it promises much, I also review beers so I'd love to find a good estonian brew). Isn't mead supposed to be somehow related to "honey"? At least semanthically I always thought so... Anyway, they serve it in the place called Olde Hansa, which is on the Old Town Central Square. You can't take it with You since they serve it on the spot only. The thing is based on the so called "honey beer", if You know what I mean. The stuff is usually 10-16 alc % and sugar is ~ 10%. The one which I tasted was the "cinnamon honey beer". I'd really want to know the English term for this drink... We also tried to make our own "mead" back at home, by using honey, but the result, which certainly had some decent alc% was far from that taste we were looking for :lol: I can't say much about Estonian brews, but from Latvian microbreweries I'd recommend only two - "Užavas" and "Tērvetes".
