Ommegang Game of Thrones Mother of Dragons up next in series
Ommegang Game of Thrones Mother of Dragons joins the brewery’s Game of Thrones Series in late September.
As the world continues to wait on George RR Martin’s sixth book (for years now), as well as HBO’s 8th season of the live action show, Brewery Ommegang continues to deliver beers inspired by the series. This September is dedicated to the “Mother of Dragons” Daenerys Targaryen.
This release is a blend of a smoked porter and Belgian Kriek, meant to be a representation of smoke and fire, found in the wake of Daenerys as she fights for her place on the Iron Throne. Ommegang describes this release as having “a rich with tart cherry up front leading to a center palate of semi-sweet chocolate then resolving to subtle smoke and mild sweetness.”
“Mother of Dragons represents in beer one of our favorite characters from Game of Thrones. Daenerys’s ascent from obscurity has been one of the most inspiring storylines of the show, and we’re thrilled to release a blend that embodies the character traits that have underpinned that rise.” – Doug Campbell, Brewery Ommegang president.
Ommegang Game of Thrones Mother of Dragons will be available in 750-milliliter bottles starting on September 28th.
Style: Smoked Porter/Kriek Blend (w/ Cherries)

New Belgium’s TransAtlantique Kriek Returns
New Belgium announced last year that they will release a new batch of their jet-setting beer TransAtlantique Kriek in 2013. This tart cherry beer started in Belgium at Boon Brewery hanging out in barrels with Frank Boon, renowned pioneer of authentic gueuze and lambic style beer revival. Then, the beer was shipped to New Belgium’s headquarters where it meets a golden ale and becomes a deliciously puckering concoction with a slightly sweet finish. This will be New Belgium’s third collaboration with Boon.
“Working with Frank Boon is the ultimate partnership as we literally cross oceans to connect our passions for sour beer.”
Style: Kriek (w/Cherries)
