It was a day of mourning around The Skol Hop studio as the Vikings dropped their final regular season in embarrassing fashion against the Lions. We broke our Iowa beer rule and drank Surly Brewing’s “Before I Die” lager, an homage to the struggle Vikings fans have endured for far too long. We get into some Iowa beer later on, enjoying Backpocket’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Stout and talk roses, thorns and game balls from the week 18 loss. In Skol Patrol, we take a look at three different provocative tweets and we close out the episode by previewing the Vikings matchup in the Wild Card round of the playoffs against the LA Rams.  We hope you’ll grab your favorite beverage and join us!

The Vikings successfully swept the Packers in the regular season and we’re here for it! The Vikings are 14-2! We try IPA Positive from 5 Cities Brewing, a red IPA that supports our local blood bank, and it is amazing. Austin had to spin the Wheel of Purple Punishments because he picked the Vikings to lose this week 17 game against the green team. His punishment was a little uncomfortable at times, but he persevered! We also take a look at a controversial tweet that’s been making the rounds in our newest segment “Skol Patrol.”  We hope you’ll grab your favorite beverage and join us! Skol!

The Vikings are 13-2 and are heading to the playoffs, but Evan picked the Seahawks to win in this week 16 matchup with the Vikings. The Wheel of Purple Punishments was pretty nice to him this time around and he was able to secure a win in an eBay auction for a sweet Jordan Addison rookie card. Austin got to try the Friends’ Vanilla Porter from River Ridge Brewing, and it was life-changing. We also introduce a new segment where we find hot takes on Twitter and talk about them. Evan kicked things off by flipping the script of a Lions’ fan’s tweet about how not all 12 (now 13) win teams are built the same.  We hope you’ll grab your favorite beverage and join us! Skol!

As the Vikings wrapped up their 12th win of the season over the Chicago Bears, we had friend-of-the-show Forrest on to talk all things NFC North. We tried 4 different Iowa brewed beers on this episode. Austin had SingleSpeed’s Mint Tip the Cow, Forrest had Confluence’s Gray’s Lake Nessie with Coffee, and Evan had two from River Ridge Brewing - Friends’ Vanilla Porter and Lucky Catch Irish Red Ale. We enjoyed them all as we watched the second half of the Vikings-Bears Monday Night Football matchup in Week 15.

While Austin couldn’t smuggle some Iowa Beer into Jamaica, he enjoyed some good old fashioned Red Stripe and Evan enjoyed a Cherry Pylon from Twin Span Brewing in Bettendorf, IA. With beers in hand, we hang out (virtually) to gush over the Vikings convincing win over the Falcons in week 14. We cover everything from Sammy D’s 5 touchdowns, Addison and Jefferson combining for over 260 yards, and Byron Murphy snagging an impressive 6th interception of the season. There were so many great aspects of this game and it was hard for us to keep it short! We also look ahead to the Vikings taking on the Bears in a week 15 Monday Night Football divisional showdown.  Grab your favorite beverage and join us! Skol!

Austin had to spin The Wheel again, the Vikings keep on trucking, and we got the opportunity to hang out with Dustin Baker and Janik Eckardt of Vikings Territory, Purple PTSD, and Vikes Now. With the Vikings win over the Cardinals in Week 13, they improved to 10-2. Austin picked the Cardinals to win in his preseason picks and The Wheel forced him to the Sprite Challenge. He did pretty well and only burped a few times. After that we enjoyed chatting with Dustin and Janik about the 10-2 Vikes and we looked ahead to the Kirk Cousins’ return to US Bank stadium in Week 14. While we hung out, we enjoyed a Mas Mexican Lager from Keg Creek Brewing. Very delicious! Grab your favorite beverage and join us! Skol! Shoutout to Big Top Ventures for sponsoring today's episode!

‘Tis the season to try festive holiday beers! We tried Backpocket’s Winter Lager, a cranberry lager that hits the spot as the weather starts to cool off and the Vikings season starts to heat up. We had friend of the show Forrest (the Bears fan) on to talk about the Vikings OT win at Soldier Field. Ranging from Caleb Williams’ ascension as an NFL quarterback to the horrendous officiating, we hit some Roses & Thorns and hand out some game balls. As always, we look ahead to next week as the Vikings host the Cardinals in the first of a 3-game homestand and we get into the weeds of the various end-of-season scenarios.  Grab your favorite beverage and join us!

Well, we were wrong. In our preseason picks, Evan and Austin both tabbed the Vikings to lose to the Titans in Week 11 which means we both spun the Wheel of Purple Punishments. The Saltine Challenge was the punishment doled out this time. Did we succeed? Let us know in the comments! After that, we relished a great beer from Adventurous Brewing out of Bettendorf, Iowa called Pod Unsubscribed and it was awesome. Of course we got into everything that happened as the Vikings beat the Titans and we preview the final game of a 3-game road stint at Chicago.  Grab your favorite beverage and join us! Skol!

Join us as we take a look back at the Vikings gritty 12-7 win over Jacksonville and look ahead to their 2nd of 3 straight games on the road at Tennessee. Evan had to suffer the consequence of the Wheel of Purple Punishments and we tried a really, really good pumpkin beer from Millstream Brewing - Pumpkin With Benefits. We made some movie references along the way and, as always, we had a ton of fun drinking Iowa beer and talking about the Minnesota Vikings.  Grab your favorite beverage and join us! Skol!

Austin fell victim to the Wheel of Purple Punishments yet again, and his punishment was pretty spicy! He was able to wash it down with some great beer from LionBridge Brewing out of Cedar Rapids. We try their Fun Size Chocolate & Vanilla Porter - delicious! We spend way too much time rehashing the Vikings SNF victory over the Colts. We talk NFL officiating, Justin Jefferson, Cam Akers, Cam Robinson, and so much more. After handing out our honorary game balls from that game, we switch gears and look ahead to the Vikings week 10 matchup with the Jaguars in Jacksonville. Austin picked the Vikings to win in our preseason picks and Evan picked them to lose against the Jags, so someone will be spinning the wheel again on next week’s episode!   Grab your favorite beverage and join us!
