‘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

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

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

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

Fall is here and we kicked things off the right way by sipping on a delicious beer from Toppling Goliath - the Caramel Apple Fandango. Put quite simply, it’s autumn in a can. We highly recommend! In addition to great beer, we had a Vikings victory to talk about and we escaped the wrath of the wheel of Purple Punishments for now. (We did spin the wheel

Joined by friend of the show Forrest this week, we enjoy Exile’s Gnomey’s Travels while we touch on all of the major Vikings news from the past week (McCarthy out for the season, Gilmore and Corral join the Vikings). We also make some snap predictions on NFC North records, and it’s a toss up on who will finish worse in the division: Vikings or Bears. (Hopefully it’s the Bears!) Of

With a Big Grove Tailwind Golden Ale to sip on, the boys talk some early Vikings training camp news and then make their picks for all 17 games of the Vikings 2024 campaign. Like last year, we each picked the winners/losers of each Vikings game and had our wives and kids pick the games as well. We also did a coin toss, heads predicting a Vikings win and tails a loss. Ev nearly lost his coin flipping privileges after a little mishap about halfway through! Grab your favorite beverage and join us! Skol

As we celebrate 50 episodes of The Skol Hop, join us for a little road trip to see and experience 11 different craft breweries around the state of Iowa! If you’ve followed our show for any length of time, you know that we like drinking beer and talking about the Vikings. More specifically, we only drink Iowa craft beer on our weekly episodes. On this trip we take you inside the different breweries we visited to give you a glimpse at how great Iowa beer can be! We had an absolute blast and we can’t

With impeccable deduction, Evan correctly identifies the brewer and name of this week's featured brew from Five Cities Brewing - Crush Tangerine Wheat. While sipping on this delicious beer, we discuss the newest Netflix series on NFL wide receivers and how disappointing it has been so far. We also talk about the recent news surrounding Jordan Addison and what this means for the young player with a few strikes against him. Lastly, we round out our 5 week mini-series where we look through notable

Could it be? Did beer from enemy territory make its way onto the set of The Skol Hop? Indeed it did, but no worries, it was not consumed on the show and our commitment to only drinking Iowa brewed beers on the show remains intact. Austin guesses the brewery and gets close on the type and ABV as we sip on the NoCoast Beer’s Flying Johnny American Pale Ale. We sip on a few of these while continuing Week 4 of our series of best Vikings to wear numbers 60-79. We also had the distinct privilege of

Austin brings Firetrucker Brewing’s Tropical Burn for Evan to guess in the Mystery Beer game. It was definitely a tricky one to guess, but a delicious one to drink! Before jumping into the 3rd week of our series of best Vikings to wear each jersey number, we cover a few offseason talkers. We talk about the competition at guard on the offensive line, possibly bringing back Cam Akers, and getting the cap hits of Kirk Cousins and Danielle Hunter off the books very soon. Then we highlight some of the

With a sub-par wrap job, Austin presents another mystery beer that Evan has to guess. Turns out to be Peace Tree’s (from Knoxville, Iowa, not Coralville) Prickly Pear Sour and it was pretty good! We talk about various Vikings mini camp highlights, such as the quarterback situation and the loaded tight end and cornerback rooms that will ultimately be slimmed down before the season begins. Lastly, we cover some key dates upcoming for the Vikings as training camp is coming up and the preseason is

Austin guesses correctly the Hazy Forecast IPA from Backpocket Brewing. We also get a chance to hang out with Dustin Baker. With Dustin we talk about the Dalton Risner signing, the weakest spots on the Vikings roster currently, and surprising (or not surprising) cuts the Vikings could make this offseason. Before hanging out with Dustin, we briefly discuss the historic Justin Jefferson contract extension and what that means for Justin and the Vikings moving forward. Grab your favorite beverage and

Austin brings another mystery beer and Evan guesses the style and brewer before the full reveal of Peace Tree’s Get a Little Hazy hazy IPA, and it was delicious! While sipping on these, the boys chat about what tier the Vikings could be heading into the 2024 season, basing things off of the current betting odds to win the Super Bowl this coming season. Unfortunately it doesn’t look super great for our favorite team, but we remain optimistic! Additionally, there have been a ton of click-baity rumors

Evan brought the beer this week and continued the Mystery Beer tradition. He also composed a poem/riddle to help Austin guess! With SingleSpeed’s Ctrl Alt Bier in hand, we discuss the Vikings tight end situation going into the summer months and the addition of Robert Tonyan. We also take a deep dive into a Vikings Territory article by Dustin Baker on the “Mushiest” spots on the Vikings roster currently. Then, Austin had the opportunity to hang with a few guys from YouBetcha! It may be long, but it’s

Austin brought a mystery beer this week and it was a good one! Exile’s Shark Wrangler is excellent! Because it’s episode 40, we pay homage to, arguably, the greatest #40 in Vikings history: Jimmy Kleinsasser. Though he wasn’t a stat monster, he was the definition of a Viking during his tenure with the Purple team. Finally, we spend some time dissecting Dustin Baker’s article on Vikings Territory talking about 4 free agents the Vikings could pursue with their remaining $17 million in cap space. Grab

Evan brought the beer this week and it’s the first time ever that we’ve featured the same beer twice on the show. After a few guesses, Austin nails it by guessing Big Grove’s Burch the Bear Brown Ale! Of all the beers we’ve had so far on this podcast, that’s definitely one worth having more than once! Once the mystery beer was discovered, we dove into all the of the scheduling possibilities that lay ahead of the Vikings in the 2024 season. Knowing the opponents and locations of the games is nice,

After a few weeks away from the desk, we’re back at it, sipping on some surprisingly delicious Blood Orange Wheat from Reclaimed Rails Brewing Company of Bondurant, IA. Being that this was recorded less than 48 hours from the start of the 2024 NFL Draft, we give our final pre-draft thoughts and predictions and we also dive deep into some prop bets and picking some over/unders. Then, we bust out some trivia trying to guess the last 3 NFC North 1st round QBs and the best NFL players to come from our
