I'm willing to bet that everybody down in Rapture would literally kill to get their hands on this Bioshock Brow Sweat Beer. Home brewmaster Calum created this beer, an American pale ale, as a tribute to the RPG/FPS hit game 'Bioshock.'
For those that don't know, Bioshock is a game about an underwater city called Rapture whose citizens have all gone mad and begun killing one another. The Bioshock Brow Sweat Beer is a tongue-in-cheek reference to a slogan mentioned many times throughout the game by the leader of Rapture imploring citizens to hate the land-based world for robbing them of the sweat from their brows.
The Bioshock Brow Sweat Beer was created for an apocalyptic gamer party (Bioshock, Fallout and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.) and is an American pale ale. No word yet on whether or not it has the same effects as the in-game power-up ADAM.
