It was inevitable. If there was a special Deadpool Aviation Gin bottle then there was going to be a Wolverine one as well. This will probably be hard to find and harder to find both.
Now, where is the Wrexham bottle?

Where is the next TV or Movie that spawns a beer series instead of just a plethora of branded cereals and logo’d t-shirts.
It seems that Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones beers are hanging on with all their might for prequels and sequels later this year and the next to juice up sales again. To be honest, I am not excited by an Iron Throne beer in 2022.
But nothing else seems to have made enough of a cultural mark to merit a NEW series of beers. The last crafty-ish tie-in that I thought looked cool was a Parks and Rec Scotch. And that is labeled Nick Offerman and not Ron Swanson.
Stranger Things has all sorts of ’80s nostalgia to mine or just use the creature names in a line of chocolate candy styled stouts. Vecna’s #001 Imperial Stout or Mind Flayer Milk Stout. But nothing. Maybe due to the main stars (under)age over the years of the show.
Maybe the new Star Trek could engage on a Brave New (brew) Worlds of beers. Red Shirt Red Ale, Captain Pike’s Old Ale. Anything to bring a bit of creativity to both entertainment and brewing.
There is no shortage of rated R shows. No shortage of shows or movies that people talk about. I don’t think streaming killed this particular golden goose.
I would like a What We Do In the Shadows beer. Anyone up for Gizmo’s Old Workd Grodziskie?
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.
