Winter is here for 'Game of Thrones,' and by winter we mean this flavored beer
The Starks have been predicting the arrival of winter for years, but now that there's a flavored beer about it we're starting to think they might be on to something.
The partnership between HBO and Brewery Ommegang has resulted in an upcoming Belgian-style double white ale ominously dubbed: "Winter is Here."
"In this next season, we celebrate the long-awaited arrival of winter with a beer fit for consumption north of The Wall," Ommegang President Doug Campbell said in a press release. "Winter is Here is a fortifying and delicious double white, brewed with sea salt and white pepper, sure to keep you warm in winter, no matter how long it lasts."

Once released this fall, the 750ml bottles will retail for $11.99, and can be happily double fisted with Ommegang's "Fire and Blood" red ale.
While the drinks won't literally keep you warm, at 8.3% ABV they'll probably keep you and your viewing party numb to any depressing deaths that happen in Season 7.
We're in the home stretch of being depressed by this show about hot characters dying from sword wounds, people. It'll all be over soon.
