World First And Aussie Exclusive Call of Duty: Black Hops III – Midnight Pale Ale
Activision Australia has announced that in order to celebrate the arrival of Call of Duty Black Ops 3, they have partnered with a Gold Coast based craft brewery to make Call of Duty Black Hops 3, a midnight pale ale.
“This is a dream partnership. We love Call of Duty, so when the idea of creating Black Hops III to celebrate the launch of the new game came up, everyone was excited, the rest is history.” Said Michael ‘Govs’ McGovern, Head Brewer and Co-Founder of Black Hops Brewing.
Gold Coast trio, Michael McGovern, Eddie Oldfield and Dan Norris started Black Hops Brewing on the 2nd November, 2014. In just 12 months they have gone from home brewing in their garage and selling their beer in local pubs, to partnering with Activision to create Call of Duty: Black Hops III Midnight Pale Ale.
“The beer is black in colour, but light and refreshing like a traditional pale ale, perfect for the Aussie summer. It’s made with an ingredient new to the market from the U.S. called "midnight wheat" a roasted de-husked wheat grain that provides a rich dark colour without the bitterness you would expect from a dark beer. It messes with your mind, a bit like the Black Ops storyline I guess.” Said Govs.
Call of Duty: Black Hops III Midnight Pale Ale will be available in limited quantities, exclusively via
www.beerbud.com.au/BlackHopsIII in both six packs and 24 bottle cartons from 1:00pm on 2nd November, 2015.
