Products Click here to read Viking's philosophy about brewing beer. Viking brews many different styles of beer. In fact, it brews over 22 different styles beer. Most are bottled in 12 oz. bottles and sold in 4-packs. Five of these beers: Blonde, Vienna Woods, CopperHead, Whole Stein and Big Swede are available throughout the year; the rest of them are seasonal beers. Viking releases one or two seasonal beers each month so there is always something new to look forward to. These are unpasteurized and should be kept cool. The Viking 22 oz. bombers return!!!
