To quote the immortal writings of E.B.White in reference to her famous porcine provacteur, “That’s some pig”.* After saying that I’m not sure what the pig on the can or the beer monging bacon bronco buster at the porker rodeo have to do with this beer. Kame &...

When Daenerys walked out of her husband’s funeral pyre, the weeping widow had no burns of any degree and three baby dragons in tow. She named one of the little lizards after her late husband, Drogon.* That’s right, Drogon the dragon. That red and black flying flaming...
