After the Vikings beat the Giants in Week 16, the question remains: play to win the game or tank for better draft picks and schedule for next season? The Vikings find themselves in that very scenario and Evan and Austin disagree on the best approach. Pro Bowl rosters came out recently, too, and we learned that 0 Vikings made the initial list. That tells you a lot about how this season has gone for our favorite team. Good news is we had a great beer (Red Headed Stranger) from Big Grove and we may have planned an impromptu road trip for the Vikings final game of the 2025-26 campaign.  We hope you’ll grab your favorite beverage and join us!

For the first time all season, the Vikings have won back to back games, and things are looking up (kind of). We tried a really good beer from NoCoast, their Gingerbread Festive Ale. We spent time breaking down the win against the Cowboys on SNF. We may have jumped the gun a bit and talked about the Vikings 2026 draft options (I mean, who isn’t talking about the Vikings draft options now that they’re out of the playoffs?). And of course we looked ahead to the Vikings week 16 tilt against the New York football Giants. We hope you’ll grab your favorite beverage and join us!

Our tone took a complete 180 as the Vikings shutout the Commanders at home in Week 14. We had a lot of fun sharing our favorite moments from that game. We also took some time to look ahead to the Vikings remaining schedule. With a little more than a 1% chance for this team to make the playoffs, we’re just happy they’re keeping it fun for us down the stretch! Our conversation took a slight detour into the college football ranks for a little while as we discussed the new trend of Division I teams opting out of Bowl Games. Oh, and we had 3 really great beers in the World Class Lager Pack from Exile Brewing!We hope you’ll grab your favorite beverage and join us!

We rarely have a beer that disappoints on the show, and this week was no exception. Big Grove’s Wade Wisely was the featured beer for this episode, one we’ve had before, and one we’ll have again. Luckily, the beer allowed us the time and space to properly vent our feelings about this year's Vikings team. After Week 13 in the NFL the Vikings are 4-8 with very little hope for this season and beyond. We had a healthy debate on the GM situation in Minnesota, and we also talked possible big-name departures from the team for the 2026-27 season. We hope you’ll grab your favorite beverage and join us!

We’re pretty down on our Vikings after a miserable loss to the Packers in Week 12. The QB of the future isn’t panning out, we had to spin the Wheel of Purple Punishments AGAIN because we thought so highly of our team in the pre-season, and we did the UNTHINKABLE on our Vikings podcast. On a positive note, we tried a really good collab beer from ReUnion Brewery and Field Day Brewing that’s perfect for the Thanksgiving table. At least we have something to be thankful for. We hope you’ll grab your favorite beverage and join us!

We followed up on a commitment we made at the beginning of the season that if the Vikings lose to Bears, we would take a shot of something awful. So we did just that. We also took a few other “shots” because we had to spin the Wheel of Purple Punishments. It was a rough episode in that sense. But, we had friend-of-the-show Forrest on to dissect the Bears victory over the Vikings in Week 11. We also tried a really good beer from Big Grove: their 1939 Amber. We hope you’ll grab your favorite beverage and join us!

The Vikings loss to the Ravens was a bummer on many levels, so we decided to try Bummer City beer from Five Cities Brewing. The game wasn’t great, but the beer sure was! We cover everything from JJ McCarthy’s lackluster performance, Justin Jefferson’s oddly unproductive outing, and Kevin O’Connell’s coaching faux pas. Then, with some optimism, we turn our attention to the Vikings Week 11 matchup at home against the Bears!We hope you’ll grab your favorite beverage and join us!

It was a great day as the Vikings beat the Lions in Detroit! Even better, we didn’t have to spin the Wheel of Purple Punishments because our pre-season selves predicted this to be a win for the Vikings. And of course we had a really good beer from Big Grove, their Sova, to celebrate! We hope you’ll grab your favorite beverage and join us!

With some 7 Hills Brewing’s Bernie’s Red Ale in hand, we get into the Vikings ugly loss to the Chargers on Thursday Night Football. Also, because we both picked the Vikings to win that game in our preseason picks, we both had to spin the Wheel of Purple Punishments. Let’s just say, we lost some money. Austin also had the privilege of chatting with Dustin Baker for the first time in a while. We finish off the episode looking ahead to the week 9 matchup against the Lions in Detroit and the looming trade deadline. We hope you’ll grab your favorite beverage and join us!

It seems like the Minnesota Vikings just can’t get out from under this QB curse that looms heavily over the franchise every year. Today we discuss the conundrum facing Kevin O’Connell and the Vikings coaching staff as they figure out how to move forward at QB. Carson Wentz has struggled, JJ McCarthy might not be ready, and Max Brosmer is an unknown quantity at this point. Of course we talked about the other aspects of our favorite team, including roses and thorns from the Eagles game, some injury issues, and a look ahead to a TNF game against the Chargers.
