Please remember, “Game of Thrones” is a work of fiction. In real life an obsidain blade won’t kill a Zombie.
How do you kill a zombie?* It may be a redundant question since they are the living dead, hence already deceased. How do you turn the living dead into the dead dead may be a more appropriate question. There have been many academic papers dealing with this important topic and although there are numerous theories on this, among the various ways proposed (some more questionable than others) there is a general consensus that destroying the brain is the most effective method.
For reasons as inexplicable as the most fitting method to dispose of the living dead, it seems fitting as well that on this All Hallows Eve the beer Zombie Brains is getting the old trick or treat taste test.
Speaking of trick or treat, all night we dealt with miniature sugar crazed freeloaders who only seemed satisfied with “full size” Aeros and Kitkats. Those buy in bulk bite sized bars were grudgingly accepted but certainly sub-standard. God forbid you gave someone an apple. The house that handed out toothbrushes and floss was targeted for late night rug rat retribution.
As for this Alchemy Brewing Kamloops BC Halloween special, it pours Jacko-lantern dark orange with a nice bright white head to blow off, which coincidentally is a very popular zombie killing method as well. Fruit and malt on the nose in equal measure. First taste yields a dry tropical fruit with some fizz and a flat dry finish. It’s a treat. The fruit with a malt backbone stays the course, still a bit of bubbles which lead into a nice crisp quencher of a finish. It evolved a bit with the fruit and malt combining for a strong almost boozy taste, but that was only temporary. Some bitters come and go but only serve to enhance rather than detract, distract, or diminish the treat that this trick is.
