Sex, Dragons, and Rock n' Roll

As if nerdy beer lovers and fantasy readers needed more (or any) shared nerd points, Brewery Ommegang has issued a limited release of their Game of Thrones-inspired Blonde Ale: Iron Throne for March. Working with HBO, Ommegang has attempted to combine the popularity of wintry sex, murder, sex, armor and sex with Belgian craft brew. Here's what Ommegang is telling us to expect:

"...a blonde ale at 6.5% ABV and brewed with a robust amount of pils, honey malt, aroma malts and red wheat...spiced with grains of paradise and lemon peel... finish is crisp, backed by a touch of spice and hops. Aroma is a bit grassy with a hint of lemon fruitiness from the lemon peel.'"

In other related beer crossover news, AC/DC is taking a break from stomping wine grapes (no joke: try some 'Highway to Hell Cab Sav') and slapping their name on a beer can. AC/DC Premium Lager claims to "come with a great beer-loving taste... brewed in accordance with the Rock`n Roll manifesto of 1973 and the German purity law of 1516."

Let's keep this one short, today, because, frankly, an AC/DC beer is too easy of a target. Give us your suggestions in the comments section for some beer and tv/rock band collaborations, because we all could use a little Breaking Brew'd: an "AMC/Schraderbrau joint effort, with notes of Los Pollos spiciness and plenty of crystal malt, all wrapped up in old-Winnebago novelty."

***For those who are waiting for their comments to finally pay off, the best collaboration suggestion wins a prize. The winner will receive not just the satisfaction of winning (although that should be good enough for you) but a real, hold-it-in-your-hand 2 Brewths gift! Good luck!***
