About
Valkyrie Brewing Company is regionally significant because it was the first microbrewery in Northwest Wisconsin. We started the brewery 20 years ago in Dallas , WI. For many years the brewery was called Viking. In 2010 we sold the Viking trademark to a brewery in Iceland and changed our name to Valkyrie.

Many people ask us, why Dallas? That's an easy question to answer. Because of the water! The water here in Dallas is so soft that it allows us to brew any style of beer. Through the years we have brewed over 38 different beers of our own plus a large number of contract brews. We LOVE beer!

Dallas may seem like it is in the middle of nowhere, but it really isn't. It is a short jaunt from the Twin Cities and is located along a shortcut from there to Northwest Wisconsin's vacation land. We are only 10 miles off of Hwy 53 and 12 miles north of Hwy 64. It is a beautiful drive no matter which way travel to Dallas!

Stop by. We'd love to visit with you!

Viking Brewing Mjød from Valkyrie Brewing Company

3.8/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 3 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 4
22oz bomber. Barely any hiss when opening the bottle. A tiny, unimpressive head sits atop of a filtered amber-brown body. Brutal honey-alcohol aroma. Wow, I wish I had split this at a tasting or something, it is pretty harsh to take solo. Im no mead expert, so this is venturing into uncharted territory. Lacks most beer characteristics other than some off flavors, this is watery booze. The aroma is what really does it in, must have been over-aged. Perhaps another casualty from the Viking bottling line. Pretty horrid stuff, best avoided.

Bottled. An unclear red-brown beer with a brown head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel, leading to a dry bitter finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Another great stout from this small NE WI brewer, its one of their best. Purchased at Woodman’s in Madison and enjoyed in a plastic cup on Thanksgiving day. I’m not really noticing an aroma, but considering the circumstances I’m not surprised. Well balanced between malt and light hops, tasting a small prune aftertaste, I’m also tasting chocolate, coffee, and mint. Great beer!

bottle, pours thick black with a thin light brown head. Aroma is big and malty with black patent and chocolate. Wow, I feel like each sip is a pound of malt. Very smooth though with a slight soy sauce character, but it’s not bad.

Not a very good pilsner, it’s surprisingly malty with a hint of citrus that sticks to the back of your throat. Would not recommend.

Had this at the Great Lakes Beer Fest. I was very excited to try this since I’m a big fan of two of Viking’s dark beers. Upon first sip I almost gagged, all I could taste was spiciness and hops. The next beer I drank after that (different beer, different brewery) still had the taste of this lingering. Will not try again!

This small brewery can’t produce a decent light beer, but they kill it with their stouts and porters. This is a pure black, sweet smelling porter that’s a great mix of coffee, oatmeal, and milk. It’s not very thick, but then again its a porter. Would definitely purchase again.

This isn’t horrible, but it certainly isnt good after being blown away by the Big Swede from this small NE Wisconsin brewery. It smells stale, tastes sour, and after drinking a little more than a half glass I have a stomach ache. Not really looking forward to finishing the 4 pack!

Lime Twist from Valkyrie Brewing Company

5.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 4.5
Draft at the OF. Light filtered looking yellow-tan with a small steady head. Strong lime in the aroma. Holy shit, this is the most lime I’ve ever tasted in a beer. Hardcore artificial lime at that, quite intense and unmistakable. Weird, wacky, wild shtuff. Tequila and tonic? Light bodied nonsense beer that lacks and trace of subtlety.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with almost no head. Aroma is a barley there pale malt. Flavor is also some pale malts but hops are no where in the picture. Reminds me of a eastern euro lager. Nothing really good about this one as everything is just too bland.
