Sound Brewery releases series of Mortal Kombat beers

I first learned about this project back in June (maybe you did too), but quickly recognized that there wasn’t much use in telling you (our readers) about it. Now that the beer has been officially released, I suppose it’s only fair to tell you that Sound Brewery of Poulsbo, Washington created a series of Mortal Kombat beers, named after three of the iconic video game’s characters: Scorpion Imperial Stout, Raiden Imperial Saison and Sub-Zero Imperial IPA. Seriously, licensed by Warner Bros. and everything!

The beers are being released now in Southern California to coincide with San Diego’s mammoth Comi-Con event, which is happening right now. Below we share the press release from Global Beverage Traders, which is distributing the beer.

As a former Mortal Kombat addict, I think this is supremely cool. Jax was my man! When I first heard about this, my instincts told me that there was no sense telling you about something so unobtainable; I assumed the beer was going to be so popular that it would be impossible to get.

A couple weeks later, I talked to Mark Hood, one of the creative masterminds behind Sound Brewery, and learned that I was right. He, of all people, should have known how people would react to a series Mortal Kombat beers, but even Mark was amazed.

So how do you get it? You can fly to Southern California or you can keep an eye on the Sound Brewery Facebook page and see if they do any more special releases. If any of it has made it out to local bottle shops, I leave you to your own devices. Just be safe out there; wear closed-toe shoes.
