Mikkeller announced a new range of fantasy-themed beers. The developing team took inspiration from Game of Thrones to create three beer styles to support the series' imaginative stories. Each beer is based on the common theme that "Winter is Here."
The new Game of Thrones range includes the Night King Double IPA, the Ghost Visions Lager, and Castle Black Stout.
Night King Double IPA is a fruity New England double IPA, inspired by the arm commander of the White Walkers. The Ghost Visions Lager, on the other hand, features a clean, light, and fresh lager flavor, inspired by one of the six dire wolves in the series. Mikkeller's Castle Black Sout is a bourbon barrel-aged imperial oatmeal stout, boasting a full-bodied flavor.
