It’s April which means the beginning of spring, the end of March Madness, and the return of all our favorite TV shows. Game of Thrones is no exception and if past experience has taught us anything, it’s that this show is best enjoyed with an alcoholic beverage at hand. Lucky for us, Brewery Ommegang has obliged with another beer in their series of Game of Thrones inspired line: The Three-Eyed Raven. The Three-Eyed Raven is a dark brown, almost black beer but “the flavor brings to mind a traditional saison: a light, malty body with a hint of sweetness, and roast accentuated by herbal and spicy hops…. Finish is crisp, with lingering notes of herbal hops and Belgian yeast.” At 7.2% ABV, it’s the perfect beer to pair with the melodic theme music all the way through until the credits roll. Three-Eyed Raven is available in 750 ml bottles and 1/6 barrel kegs. So sit back, grab an Ommegang Three-Eyed Raven, and pray to the old gods and the new that your favorite character survives another episode.
If you can’t find this in the store, there’s a Bolton Bloody Beer cocktail recipe! http://www.homewetbar.com/blog/game-of-thrones-season-drinking-guide/
