What’s in a name? Everything!
Four friends form the backbone of Norse Brewing Company: owners Chris and Jenni Jorgensen and their longtime neighbors Brad and Lynn Wynn.
After a lively night of drinks, the brewery was born. When it came time to name this IPA, the reasoning was simple: “It’s for our friends to drink.”
About Norse Brewing Company
Viking culture centers around “family, gatherings, and taking care of your people,” Chris says — values that are literally set in stone outside the Wake Forest brewpub.
Whether you stop in to play board games or a round of trivia, grab a Viking burger, or just relax with a few pints: “When you step into our building, you’re part of the Norse family.”
