Two years later the first release, Festus Rotgut &#8212; a dark wheat ale clocking in at 8% ABV &#8212; will finally hit store shelves.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;6 Pack Stories,&#8221; a yearly release, will feature artwork and writing from people in the comic book industry. Festus Rotgut was written by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jason_Aaron\">Jason Aaron<\/a> and the illustrations were done by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tony_Moore_%28artist%29\">Tony Moore<\/a>, co-creator of <em>The Walking Dead<\/em>. <a href=\"https:\/\/deliciousdesignleague.com\/\">Delicious Design League<\/a> did the overall label design.<\/p>\n<p>Arcade co-founder Lance Curran tells Guys Drinking Beer the idea was to tell a story first and then brew a beer to match the story. Co-founder Chris Tourre brewed that beer and tells us he chose a dark wheat ale because it seemed to fit perfectly with the tale of Festus Rotgut. &#8220;Since there are zombies I immediately thought something dark,&#8221; said Tourre. &#8220;Driving a heard of cattle across the dusty landscape also made me immediately go to a dry wheat beer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tourre says he used some specialty roasts to create marshmallow and caramel flavors. He dry hopped the beer too, which Tourre says gives it a spicy finish.<\/p>\n<p>Arcade is planning to release the beer later this year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"x-resp-embed x-is-video x-is-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Crafting Arcade Brewery: Episode 6 - Six Pack Stories\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S43TvWgKRz0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The long-awaited first installment of Arcade Brewery&#8217;s &#8220;6 Pack Stories&#8221; will hit store shelves soon.
