You can find Danish pilsners on grocery store shelves, but “they do not taste the same,” says Norse Brewing Company co-owner Chris Jorgensen, who was born and raised in Denmark. When he tasted brewer Brad Wynn’s recipe for the first time, his reaction says it all: “Oh my God, this is like sitting in the courtyard of my dad’s farm having a beer with him.”
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.”
