Bent Paddle Switches Plans for New Beer

A Viking inspired beer will now benefit the Leif Erickson Viking Ship Restoration Project

Bent Paddle is getting in on the fun of Tall Ships with a new beer this weekend. Unfortunately, they won’t be able to toast with the ship that inspired the beer after the Draken Harald Hårfagre was forced to pull out of the festival due to costs.

It was a few months ago that the crew of the Viking ship reached out to bent paddle to make a Viking inspired beer but the beer will go on even without the boat.

“We heard they weren’t coming and then we heard they were coming again and then finally they’re not. So we’re kind of bummed but we got to make the beer anyways,” said Bjorn Erickson, Bent Paddle Brewer.

The brewery along with Pier B Resort are holding a party this Friday from 6 to 9 on the party deck to celebrate and promote the local Leif Erickson Viking Ship Restoration Project.

One dollar from every pint of the beer sold will go to the restoration project.
