Half Acre – Beer Hates Astronauts Coming 8/30

Imagine a comic book. The kind with superheroes and punching and stuff. Now imagine that most of those superheroes are kind of total jerks. Add in a lot of profanity. No, more profanity than that. Ok, now throw in felonious owls, spectral bovines, gorilla arms, lots of bears, unplanned pregnancy, and 19th century boxer John L. Sullivan. And then a little more profanity. And be sure to include almost nothing about theology or space exploration. 

Now imagine—and this is key—being able to drink all that. And then imagine it’s called Beer Hates Astronauts, because that’s what we’re calling it. And we’re calling it that because it’s the beer version of God Hates Astronauts, which is the actual comic I completely failed to properly evoke above. 

This is just the latest step in creator Ryan Browne’s attempt to dominate the world by means of one of the most unsummarizable comics in existence. Having recently Kickstartedthe deluxe hardcover edition of God Hates Astronauts with massive success, he has joined forces with Half Acre for a groundbreaking venture in distributing comics in hoppy liquid form.

Beer Hates Astronauts will be set free from its containment unit here at the brewery on Friday, August 30. It is a 7% ABV India Pale Ale brewed with Vienna malt and Citra hops. It will be available in 22 oz. bombers for $8.99 + tax, (limit 4 per person). Or you can buy it by the glass in our Tap Room. 

And as if that all isn’t enough, there will be a special launch event in the Tap Room on Sunday, September 1st at 2pm, featuring Ryan Browne in person where you can probably talk him into signing bombers or body parts or explaining just what the deal with the cheeseburger-eating tigers is. (Probably not that last thing, actually.)
