These Delicious Kraft Beer Bottles Were Inspired by the Hobbit Films

— August 14, 2014 — Lifestyle
In light of the release of all The Hobbit films, brewing company BevLink and Fish Brewing have paired up to create a series of three beers based off the popular fantasy movies. Each beer bottle pay tribute to a different popular character from Middle Earth.

These Hobbit-inspired beers come with three tantalizing flavors to choose from. First up is the Gollum Precious Pills with a light pilsner taste. Second is the Smaug Stout with a richer and deeper flavor profile. Last is the Bolg Belgian Style Ripel named after the orc leader. Each beer bottle comes with a graphic of the said character along with a mini bio that tells consumers the tale of the character, where they came from and their role in the story of Middle Earth.
