Transformers Beer - Hoptimus Prime in UK Pubs!

Nice find! XD.

be careful British members this adult beverage is made of sterner stuff !

It's only 4.1%, that's gnats' piss!

Where's my AleSpark?
I've drank gnat's piss that's stronger than that. Although it does take a long while to get together a pint of gnat's piss.

we Swerve's bar now

There are going to be a lot of drunk UK TF fans out there. Hopefully the beer at least tastes good.

It's not the first time either.

I find it distasteful that these people would use an entertainment franchise mainly geared towards children to sell alcoholic beverages.

Um. Wow. They totally stole this from the New Albanian Brewing Company...

Hoptimus | New Albanian Brewing Company

I wish this was available to order on their website. I'd love to try me some Hoptimus Prime.

Dohoho 10/10

I tell you what. It works! Beer drinker changes from sober to drunk and back!

Get Hammered and Roll Out!?

...Prime used to be such a role model... tsk tsk.

Awesome. Telling the world about this.

You know pubs in the UK don't actually serve children . . .

I remember this was the name of a beer from Fable 2...The description is pretty similar too.

Hope Optimus has a designated driver. XD

Well it looks like my dream of getting wasted at Swerve's bar might come true!

I love bein British, I'll have to get 1 when I'm down next

That's tight I want it!

I certainly do not love beer and indeed the entire alcohol, but for the sake subjects of TF can barely try.

But Optimus is a role model... this may not end well.

I can see the commercial!!!

Optimus Prime: Transform and ROLL OUT...........and buy a good beer like Hoptimus Prime so help us Deafeat the decepticon's by having a good ice cold beer!!!! Buy a Hoptimus Prime today so Megatron's once and for ALL!!!

THIS HAS MADE MY DAY!!!

Haha BRILLIANT! Very much hoping my local gets this on. Shame it's only 4.1, but should be good for a session.

Gonna need to track down one of those pump heads at some point, that would be quite the drunken prize!

Hoptimus POrime is from a Pensselvciania brewqery....also I just came from a beer fest so I totyally aint spell checking this post.! whooo!

It would be win if Peter Cullen narrates the commercial like John O'Hurley does with Coors Light.

Is there anyway to get this over to the states? I would love love love to get a six pack! Ill pay the shipping!

Grab your drinks and run, the fun police is here!

I'd like a taste. Are the bottles/caps worth collecting?

Good lord I remember that, it was the best beer you could get in the game, bloody hell I really want to go play some Fable right now :I

Me too! But im stuck here at uni and my 360 is at home : /

I smell IP infringement... or maybe that's just the smell of the hobby cheapening!

Well there is an american beer called Hoptimus Prime too from some micro brewery, or atleast there were a few years ago. Don't know if it is produced anymore.

Exact same problem mate.......except my xbox red-ringed back in September.....and also the last time I tried to play fable II it didn't work :/

Prude. BORING! It's funny/clever as shit.

They sell this in the U.S., my brother texted me a pic of a bottle from a store in Amherst, MA, a few days ago.

Nice, I love real ale and this sounds like a good find. Alas it wasn't on sale at last week's beer festival.

Hmm... Beer...

I need to find this somewhere near Newcastle...

I must find this! any chance anybody knows if anyone is importing this to FL?

Ruckus brewing Hoptimus Prime is on tap at my local Unos.

I don't drink, but this makes me want to start.

Ah the first official "CHUG" release!

Probably the best comment to come out of this thread for a while.

All those asking for bottle caps, or for it to get shipped to the US and ESPECIALLY saying its infringing on IP/a bad role example to kids simply don't understand how Real Ale works in the UK. These sort of plays on words and puns are quite common and theres little to no chance you'll find this beer bottled for sale in a store. Mayyyyybe at a pub local to the brewery (if you're lucky) and I don't believe this will a overly common drink to find anyway.

As an great lover of Real Ale (it may be my favourite thing after TFs) I love this and can't wait to try it!

Right, thats pretty weak. I think people outside of the UK might think that the beers on tap are crazy strong, far from it, craft beers in the US for eg seem a bit stronger on average, I think the culture in the UK is drink quite weak beer but lots of it!

I found it distasteful that Hasbro would pin Michael Bay to a franchise geared mainly towards children to make a movie of sex puns and poor writing to sell toys. So, seems like no one is on their winning game these days.

Now that's funny.

--Hey, what's Hoptimus Prime turn into, anyway?
== Well, I'm guessing a thirty car pile-up with multiple fatalities.

This is news?

Well said.

How is this even news? My boss found this shit over a year ago at World of Beer.

Overheard in bar:

"One shall stand, One shall fall! CHUG! CHUG! CHUG! CHUG!"

It might perhaps be worth contacting the company to see if they have any promo material with the logo on it they could send out. Often these novelty beers have some kind of accompanying poster to go up in the pub, or beermats.
