The Twisted and Awesome GWAR Cans

Another in the line of metal inspired brews is Cigar City Brewing & GWAR’s Impaled Pale Ale. For those of you that don’t know, GWAR is a satirical metal band founded in Virginia in the 1980’s. They are pretty damn metal.

GWAR has teamed up with Tampa’s Cigar City Brewing for a new liquid track. Impaled Pale Ale will be brewed this summer, canned for the GWAR-B-Q festival in Richmond, Virginia this August. You knew damn well the artwork would be twisted, satirical, and awesome.

Style: Pale Ale
Availability: 16oz cans. GWAR B-Q Release only
