Windless Wave of the Spears of the Bull

Kennings for beer from this index of kennings

lœðar jastar; — ‘of the yeast’s flood; may ’ - BEER

brim horna – — ‘the surf of horns ’ - BEER

vindlauss vágr geira svigðis — ‘windless wave of the spears of the bull ’ - BEER


I take it these make sense because they drank beer from a horn?
