This Father's Day, Help Dad Find His Inner Viking: Give Him Adventure in a Bottle with Einstok Icelandic Craft Ale

    AKUREYRI, ICELAND, May 23, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Forget the ties, the tools and the lawn equipment. If you really want to commemorate the real man your father is, then treat him to something that celebrates adventure and helps him discover his inner viking: craft beer from Einstok Olgerd, brewed in Iceland just 60 miles south of the Arctic Circle.

Einstok - which means "unique" or "distinctive" in Icelandic - starts its process with the perfect foundation for brewing craft ales: the purest water on earth. The water starts as rain or ancient glacial water from atop the Hlioarfjall Mountain, from where it flows through and is naturally purified by ancient lava fields. From there, brewmaster Baldur Karrason unites it with ingredients sourced both locally from Iceland and from all over the world to deliver craft beer that is distinct and flavorful, yet deliciously refreshing and drinkable.

The current product line consists of three styles that offer a variety of color and flavor:

Icelandic White Ale (ABV 5.2%): brewed in the centuries-old Belgian tradition, this ale features the complex flavors of the classic wit bier, including coriander and orange peel, all brewed with pure Icelandic water that delivers a cool smoothness that is flavorful and refreshingly drinkable.

Pale Ale (ABV 5.6%): American and Bavarian craft come together to create the Viking version of the Pale Ale. Mild, slight toffee flavors and generous hop aroma flood this ale with taste, brewed harmoniously with nature's finest Icelandic water.

Toasted Porter (ABV 6.0%): With clear notes of espresso and dark chocolate, this Porter is dark and rich, offering a medium body that is robust - yet smooth and seriously easy to drink. Be afraid of the dark no more.

Einstok is distributed throughout California by Wine Warehouse and is currently available in select stores, restaurants and bars throughout the state. To find out more, join us on Facebook or visit www.einstokbeer.com.
