Lord of the Rings

One does not simply walk into Mordor, and one doesn’t easily get their hands on officially licensed alcoholic Lord of the Rings beverages in the year 2022 either. Right now, the only wine is the Middle-earth Pinot Noir from the—where else?—New Zealand-based Nelson. The beer situation is even more dire, unless you’re eager to try Moylan Brewery’s discontinued Lord of the Rings: Orc Piss Stout, which still has a few bottles left on Drizly (and I would be lying if I said I didn’t suspect that Moylan hadn’t necessarily gone through all the necessary legal channels to name an LotR-branded beer as piss).
