Plenty of ancient cultures have found new lives in modern culture, but none have had staying power quite like the Scandinavian warriors of old.

Vikings have captured the wonder and awe of folks across the world for decades, and Arizona has just the place for those who want to feel like their warrior ancestors.

From Humble Beginnings...

Located north, in Flagstaff, Arizona, just off the historic Route 66, sits an inconspicuous brewery of sorts. It all started when founders Kelly and Evan got hitched, and wanted a unique way to entertain their guests. So, they brewed homemade Mead, an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting honey, water, and yeast.

The mead was such a success, they opened a small brewery with the intent of just selling wholesale, but after an appearance on Guy Fieri's Family Road Trip, the demand for their product went through the roof. They decided it was time for a change.

The Drinking Horn

Now, the two have turned their small brewing business into a bustling drinking hall known as "The Drinking Horn". The building immediately makes you feel as if you've stepped back in time to the halls of a great Viking king, complete with animal pelts, stone walls, and wooden chandeliers.

The hall has become a Flagstaff staple, and it's a visit every Arizonan should make at least once. With dozens of meads to sample, and a welcoming environment that puts you in the shoes of a long forgotten warrior, there's no better place for history nerds, fantasy fans, or just a curious mind.
