Written by John Edward BetancourtDenver Comic Con has truly brought forth some amazing yearly traditions in addition to the convention itself. One such tradition, one that always manages to signal just how close the convention really is to kicking off, is the annual creation of the official beer for the convention. Every single year, Denver Comic Con and the Breckenridge Brewery team up to bring us an exciting and delicious beer that is served only before and during the convention and the best part is...the fans get the chance to name it. This year there were 700 entries to name this beer that were narrowed down to five for the fans to vote upon and we can all thank Jonathan Cooper for coming up with the inventive moniker for this year's beer...Hulk's Mash. So what kind of treat are we in for when comes to Hulk's Mash? Well, according to the press release it is a..."delightful pale ale made with mango puree and Mosaic hops. It sounds mild-mannered, but don’t be fooled. Mosaic hops produce an aromatic punch of mango, lemon, citrus, and earthy pine scents. Loads of pulverized mangos heroically balance the hoppy aroma and flavor." But creating the beer is simply not enough, something that delicious needs to be shared by the fans and to add to the tradition of its creation, comes a grand Beer release party which just so happens to be around the corner as well. Yes on May 1st, at 7:30 p.m. at 1Up Colfax, DCC and Breckenridge Brewery will debut this amazing brew in exciting fashion. For starters the first 200 people that make it to the party get their hands on a limited edition pint glass that features artwork from Trevor Plaza and the fun doesn't end there. There will be a final performance by the awesome band Total Ghost, the 90's Cover Band the Gin Doctors and DJ N810 and DJ Carmello will be hand to entertain everyone in attendance as well. But most importantly, it's going to be a blast, simple as that. This is a great opportunity to enjoy another delicious creation from Breckenridge Brewery and have a great time with your friends. I know we will see all of you there, until then fellow Comiconians!
