A purple beer for Minnesota Vikings fans: Remedy brews up 'Skolberry'

If you're a Vikings fan looking for a beer to toast your team into playoff victory, Remedy Brewing Co. has just the brew for you.

They call it "Skolberry," a wheat beer made with 200 pounds of blueberry puree. That means it's purple. Of course.

The partners in the Sioux Falls brewpub are all die-hard Vikings fans and wanted to something to support their team, said partner Tyler Jepperson.

"It's easy to drink, and just like our favorite team tends to finish just a little tart," he said.

Remedy is debuting the beer at a watch party it's hosting for the Vikings-Saints playoff game on Sunday, starting at noon. They'll project the game on a wall at the brewpub.

"Remedy isn't a 'sports bar' per se, but when the Vikings are doing so well, we're just like the rest of the fan-base and can't help but don our horns and board the longship," Jepperson said.

Remedy Brewing Co. is located at the Eight and RR Center, at 401 E. 8th St. For more information about the beer and watch party, check out the brewpub on Facebook, its event page for the party or its website, www.remedybrewco.com. Its phone number is 605-271-6193.
