Vote for the next Game of Thrones Beer from Brewery Ommegang

This is great! Except everyone is voting for the wrong beer!

Any chance we Bar Towellers can put one of the quads in the lead? I'm pushing for Khal, myself.

They probably would, if this contest had been launched on Ommegang's Facebook page! Unfortunately, this was launched on the GOT page, so we've got a different crowd of people voting...

Just an example of the kind of person voting and the kind of comments being made: "A Belgian, or anything but super dark, and red's would be nice." (Great. Not only would this guy probably despise a quality quad, but he has also failed to realize that all 3 of the beer styles being considered are Belgian.)

There are two quads and the vote has been split as a result, unless people are only voting for the beer's name.
I have no idea what any of this is as I don't watch the show.
As long as its not a tripel, I'm interested.

As long as it's better than Take The Black, I don't care what it is.
I used to sell beer. Now I don't.

True, Take the Black could have been quite a bit better...curious to see which one wins this.

With Matthew on this, though Take the Black on tap was far superior to the muddled bottle.

I guess this will be the 4th and final beer in the series, unless they decide to extend the series.

The 3rd beer, Fire and Blood Red Ale is next, probably in Ontario after Season 4 starts.
