7/15/18

A beer dedicated to Cersei Lannister, Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, may seem a bit odd. I mean, she's not the most well-liked character on the show and, from what I gather, might be the evilest of all Evil Queens. Perhaps that's why Brewery Ommegang named their Belgian sour ale for her. She may be rotten to the absolute core, but the beer is one of the smoothest sour ales I've enjoyed. I'm not the most refined beer drinker on the planet. My tastes tend to lean towards finely aged whiskey or a Continue Reading
