Brewery Ommegang Let Fans Choose the Next GOT-Inspired Brew
Laura McQuarrie — May 13, 2014 — Pop Culture
Game of Thrones fans have been loving the beers Brewery Ommegang in New York has been creating, using the show as inspiration, but they love it even more when they can be involved in the process.
Back in December at the end of last year, fans were asked to vote on one of three Game of Thrones beer varieties. Now, the winner has been announced and the fourth Game of Thrones-inspired beer will be available soon. Fan votes determined that the winning beer would be 'Valar Morghulis,' which are words uttered by Khaleesi from an Old Valyrian saying that means "All men must die."
Valar Morghulis will soon be available through Brewery Ommegang, along with 'Iron Throne Blonde Ale,' 'Take the Black Stout' and 'Fire and Blood Red Ale.'
