Note: This is a 21+ festival

Get ready for the Viking Beer Fest, a brand new festival happening Saturday, August 20 at the Nordic Northwest campus including Fogelbo! This unique festival showcases the Timberhaven Vikings, a living history and reenactment group. The Vikings will be setting up historical demonstrations, merchants, and combat re-enactments in the Viking Village.

Fogelbo, a National Historic Treasure

Fogelbo is a log house and grounds full of walking trails and structures resembling a quaint Swedish Village. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in July 2020, and was built by Henry Steiner and his son. Steiner is also known for building Timberline Lodge.

The festival will take place on the grounds of Fogelbo and live music will take place on the log house's deck. Feel free to walk around and explore the grounds and trails.

Live Music

The festival features live music and entertainment on the deck of Fogelbo. Later in the evening, we will switch to the Viking Ship stage for DJ entertainment.

Beer Tastings

Featuring beers from around the PNW region, pours are sponsored by taphouse Loyal Legion. Included in your admission are 10 four ounce tastings from different kegs. You may purchase additional tastings at the festival.
