The Right Hand of Doom Red Ale will be available after February 23rd, 2015.
“When Dark Horse Comics published the first Hellboy story 21 years ago, I never thought there’d be a Hellboy beer,” said Mignola. “But I really can’t imagine a better time for Rogue to introduce the Right Hand of Doom beer. If Hellboy was real I guess he’d finally be able to buy me a beer.”
“Hellboy has appeared in graphic novels and comic books, prose novels, two animated features, two live action films, toy lines and all manner of merchandise,,” said Mike Richardson, President of Dark Horse. “Rogue Ales approached us with the idea of creating a heavy-handed, supernatural red ale and we loved the idea of two independent, Portland based companies coming together to create something new that would be both fun for fans and worthy of the Mike Mignola’s creative legacy.”
“This beer is dedicated to the B.P.R.D.,” said Brett Joyce, President of Rogue Ales. “Right Hand Of Doom is brewed with all the same passion and intensity that Mike Mignola and Dark Horse have brought to Hellboy for the past 21 years.”
Do I know what it tastes like? Unfortunately, no. Maybe someone involved will see this and offer up some samples, but unless that happens I won't know any more about the quality than the rest of you until after February 23rd. Of course I've never actually had any of the adult beverages offered by the people at Rogue, so this might be the time to check things out.
