“Yule Crack Up, Gingerbread Stout with Cinnamon, Clove, Ginger and Nutmeg – A big electrifying strong ale combined with seasonal spices to give you a warm glow like Clark’s house lighting up in the winter. Drink in moderation so you don’t blow a circuit.”
fish-Cousin_Eddie_RV
“Cousin Eddie’s RV, Imperial Brown Ale – A warming Imperial Brown Ale loaded with complex malt flavors and balanced to style with subtle hop additions rounding out the brew. Sure to convince Cousin Eddie that this is better than Ellen’s eggnog.”

“Family Wagon, Imperial India Pale Ale – A bold imperial India Pale Ale loaded with early malt flavors and finished with multiple hop additions to create a beer that is sure to fuel your family trickster.”

Now I guess I will have to wait for the Jessica Jones or Daredevil beers.

Fish Brewing of Washington State has teamed up with the Shire on the Hobbit Series of beers that they are calling “a collaboration of bold imperial style beers selectively tailored to emulate the Hobbit characters – Gollum (Smeagol), the Dragon Smaug, and the vicious Orc chieftain Bolg.”

Gollum Precious Pils: A strong Imperial Pils, with flavors as smooth and crafty as Gollum himself. Like the ring which Gollum pursued for the rest of his life, his “precious” pils, if your quest leads you to it, could extend your life too! (at least we’d like to think so) It will, at a minimum, make your journey a little more enjoyable!

Smaug Stout: Smaug Stout is styled after a classic Russian Imperial Stout, but with a subtle hint of Habanero chilis to remind you of the fire and danger awaiting you in your journey to The Lonely Mountain. Pronounced notes of Coffee and Chocolate balanced with Northwest Hops and a touch of heat produce an exceptional imperial stout, a worthy reward for your hard-fought journey.

Bolg Belgian Style Tripel: An Orc chieftain who ruled for 150 years, Bolg would drink his grog of choice and no one would tell him otherwise – a flavorful strong Belgium Tripel. Some said it refined an otherwise gruesome character.

The Hobbit Series of Beers are now out so if you have friends in Washington or Oregon, get on the phone and start bartering.
