From Brooklyn Brewery:
NORWALK, CT – September 4, 2013/mbb/ – ReedPOP, the number one purveyor of pop culture events, and The Brooklyn Brewery today announce the launch of ‘Brooklyn Defender’ – an exclusive American Black Ale specifically created for this year’s New York Comic Con (NYCC). Designed to “strike fear into the heart of those who would forget the virtues of true beer” the latest addition to the Brooklyn Brewery roster has a dark malt visage and hoppy finish that protects the city from the scourge of tasteless beers. In a true nod to the comic book origins of the East Coast’s biggest entertainment celebration, acclaimed comic book artist Cliff Chiang (Wonder Woman, Batman), illustrated the beer’s artwork. The ‘Brooklyn Defender’ will be introduced at a special release party September 21 and then make its’ way to select bars and restaurants. New York Comic Con takes place October 10-13 at the Javits Center.
“New York Comic Con is a celebration of all things pop culture and what better way to celebrate than with a beer. The Brooklyn Brewery has created a true gift for fans and has lined up some events and partnerships that will bring the magic of NYCC all throughout the city,” said Lance Fensterman, global vice president ReedPOP.
Garrett Oliver, Brewmaster of Brooklyn Brewery added, “As a New York City native who grew up on 70s comics and later edited a science fiction magazine, getting to make the Brooklyn Defender for New York Comic Con is a massive honor for my inner geek.”
