WrestleMania is upon us this week.
The “Super Bowl” of professional wrestling takes place this weekend on April 6-7 in Philadelphia and airs live on Peacock TV. So, if you’re going to a party and looking for something to imbibe upon, we have some local options for you.
Here’s a look at four pro-wrestling-themed beers from Colorado breweries that you can bring to your WrestleMania party:
Heel Turn, Landlocked Ales
With the mini-replica WWE championship belt hanging on the wall to the older wrestling matches often playing on one of their TVs, it’s no surprise that the Lakewood brewery named one of its beers after an insider term. A “heel turn” is when a wrestler turns into a bad guy, like Dwayne Johnson said his character, The Rock, did earlier this year. This Heel Turn is a traditional IPA that has a 6.6% ABV and is dry-hopped with simco, citra and mosaic hops. Speaking of The Rock…
My Little Jabroni, Diebolt Brewing
A combination of the classic Hasbro cartoon and toy line, “My Little Pony,” and one of The Rock’s catchphrase, this 6% ABV hazy IPA features a pony drawn in the style of the wrestler-turned-action star on its cans. It’s complete with his trademark sunglasses and raised eyebrow, as well as his tribal tattoos on his chest and shoulder.
Mocha Man Randy Savage, Manitou Brewing
Ooooh yeah, this twist on the late Slim Jim promoter’s moniker is a 6% ABV coffee stout. Yeah. As the brewery describes it, “Hints of milk sugar balance out the mocha sweetness and round out the velvety mouthfeel that keeps going all day.” Yeah. It truly is the cream of the crop.
Top Rope, The Post Chicken & Beer
For something a little lighter, The Post offers this 5% ABV Mexican lager, featuring a masked wrestler in its art jumping off of, well, the top rope. It “will unleash your inner luchador,” the brewery claims.
