The much anticipated "Game of Thrones" season 6 won't come anytime soon but since GOT season 5 finale, the hype has not died down.
As part of their partnership with HBO, five "Game of Thrones" inspired beers were released by Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, New York. According to Upprox, the Brewery Ommegang announced earlier this month that their latest beer - a hoppy wheat ale called Seven Kingdoms - will arrive right in time for the show's season 6 premiere.
Some of the GoT inspired beers are Three-Eyed Raven Dark Saison Ale released in spring 2015, Iron Throne Blonde Ale released in fall 2013, Fire and Blood Red Ale released in spring 2014, Valar Morghulis Dubbel Ale released in fall 2014, and Take the Black Stout released in spring 2013. Their latest beer, Seven Kingdoms will be available in 700mL bottles.
"Seven Kingdoms is a marriage of a traditional Belgian-style wheat and a hop-forward American ale - but unlike so many of the marriages on the show, the resulting hoppy wheat is pleasant, playful and inspired. At 6.9% (alcohol by volume) it possesses a nuanced complexity that pairs nicely with the hop-forward characteristics that make it surprisingly refreshing," Brewery Ommegang stated.
Innovator Manager of Brewery Ommegang, Mike McManus further explained their decision about the creation of the beer. "We love bringing as much inspiration, thoughtfulness and creativity to the Game of Thrones beers as we can," he stated.
"This last season, the imaginativeness of the show was pretty astounding so we aimed for a beer that could hope to match that. A fusion of two wonderful styles was an idea that really excited our team," McCanus added.
Syracuse described the drink as having a silky mouthfeel produced by wheat and oats, and citrusy flavor with fruity aromas. It's brewed with Columbus hops, Centennial, Cascade, Citra and Bravo.
Upprox took the recent release as an opportunity to suggest names for the beers.
The publication wrote: "Seven Kingdoms is fine and accurate but what about something... more. Angsty Drogon Ale, Handsome New Daario Stout, Warg Hard Play Hard Lager, etc. it's your brewery, guys. You can name the beers anything you want. Live a little!"
