Press Release: While the wait for each new season of Game of Thrones® can seem longer than the wait for winter in Westeros, fans can now quench their thirst for all-things-Thrones with the newest beer in the Game of Thrones series from Brewery Ommegang and HBO Global Licensing: Bend the Knee Golden Ale.

With Bend the Knee's retail release set for May 22nd, and rolling out nationwide over Memorial Day weekend, fans can claim their house of choice when the golden ale is released on draft and in a series of three collectible 750ml corked bottles (SRP $9.99 each), all finished in matte black and adorned with one of the three Great House sigils: Stark, Targaryen, or Lannister.

Pils malt, flaked oats, Saaz, Bravo, and Styrian Golding hops all work together to create a beer that’s equally as complex and exciting as the Emmy® Award-winning series.
