One of the fantastic things about being an adult video game nerd is to see how your fellow peers incorporate your favorite Nintendo IPs into IPAs.
Making the rounds this week, O’Connor Brewing Co. in Norfolk, Virginia made a small batch of beer in honor of a local Super Smash Bros. tournament. The single malt and single hop (SMASH) brew was canned with a custom illustration of Ness and Kirby giving Master Hand the smackdown. Currently, you can try a pour of the “Old School IPA West Coast Style” — but only on tap at O’Connor Brewing Co.’s tasting room. (Sorry, beer aficionados and Smash fans, you can’t place an order of a four or six-pack of the cans.)
Don’t fret though! This has been a bit of a trend with small brewing companies across the United States. You’re just a Google search away from finding another nerd brew crew, like 8 Bit Brewing Company, GameCraft Brewing, and Second Self Beer Co.
