Egill Skallasgrimsson

was a noble Viking warrior

& titular star of his own saga;

slayer of Eric Bloodaxe’s son.

Egill fearlessly pillaged

& plundered

took on the mighty sea;

slayed royalty for vengeance

And now provides the name 

for a beer and beverage company

in Iceland

making trendy beverages flow.

So now effete beer geeks like me

can ponder the nuances

of three different IPA’s 

and assign a rating for each one.

Hate to scare you, people,

but the transformation

from Leif Ericsson to Leif Garrett

is reaching the final stages.
