Game of Thrones may be over and done with, but interest in Westeros hasn’t disappeared just yet. HBO is already reviving excitement around the fantasy franchise with prequel series House of the Dragon, and hype is just likely to grow as we get closer to the show’s 2022 release date.
Those looking to celebrate the return to Westeros are in luck. Mikkeller and Warner Bros. are releasing three new Game of Thrones beers, and their packaging alone will have you nostalgic for the original series.
Mikkeller recently entered a multi-year deal with Warner Bros., becoming the company’s new brewing partner for the franchise. When the series was airing, Brewery Ommegang held that title. However, Mikkeller launched its first Game of Thrones beer back in April: the Iron Anniversary IPA.
There’s no special occasion this time around, but fans can look forward to three new Westeros-inspired beers this week.
Which Game of Thrones beers is Mikkeller launching?
So, which Game of Thrones beers is Mikkeller bringing fans this time? According to MSN, we can expect the following three additions to the company’s lineup:
- Night King Double IPA: A fruity beer with 8-percent ABV, this one serves as a tribute to Game of Thrones’ biggest villain — well, until Arya stabbed him and Cersei became the final boss. The Night King features prominently on the IPA’s can, and it’s an ideal look with winter coming.
Fear is for the winter when the snows fall a hundred feet deep.

Fear is for the long nights when the sun hides for years, and children are born and live and die, all in darkness.

- Ghost Visions Lager: Dedicated to the goodest boy in Westeros, Ghost Visions Lager is a light lager with 4.5-percent ABV. If you’re not sold on the name alone, the can features Jon holding puppy Ghost. (Who’s ready to rewatch the series premiere?)

- Castle Black Stout: Aged in bourbon barrels and boasting a whopping 11.3-percent ABV, the Castle Black Stout calls back to the Night’s Watch and has a bottle design highlighting the Watchers on the Wall.
I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. pic.twitter.com/aCzb2pS6iE
