Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is also getting its own craft beer

The Walking Dead, Fallout, and now Call of Duty. What do all three of these franchises have in common? They all now have their own unique beer.

Announced today, Black Hops Brewing (I see what you did there) has partnered with Activision to create a special beer celebrating the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 on November 6th.

Starting November 2nd, the world first, limited edition Call of Duty: Black Hops III – Midnight Pale Ale will be available to purchase in limited quantities, exclusively in Australia here.

According to Black Hops Brewing, they wanted to create a "unique beer that reflected both the creativity of the brewery and Call of Duty: Black Ops 3." Using a combination of "special ingredients sourced from around the world" and their own knowledge, they created a classic American-style pale ale and painted it black.

“The beer is black in color, but light and refreshing like a traditional pale ale, perfect for the Aussie summer. It’s made with an ingredient new to the market from the U.S. called “midnight wheat” a roasted de-husked wheat grain that provides a rich dark colour without the bitterness you would expect from a dark beer," explained Black Hops Brewing co-founder Michael McGovern. "It messes with your mind, a bit like the Black Ops storyline I guess.”
