Let’s face it, zombie attacks are not very fun. They are even worse if the undead come knocking at your door and you find yourself stuck with a lousy beer. In order to prevent this unfortunate occurrence from happening, we’ve come up with a list of the top ten beers to drink during a zombie attack. So delicious, they’re to un-die for.
10. Resurrection
During the fermentation of the first batch of this beer, the yeast “died” and was “resurrected,” in much the same way people outside the house are dying and becoming resurrected, only in a much more literal way and without the quotation marks. Made with five types of barley malt and plenty of sugar, the beer is quite strong and flavorful, without being too sweet.
9. Black Death
The Black Death was not a happy time for mankind, but at least back then they didn’t have to worry about fighting zombies. Viewed from this perspective, the Black Death beer can bring back memories of the good ol’ days, before people rose from the dead and hungered for brains. Because of this, Black Death beer makes a great addition to your post-apocalyptic alcohol collection.
8. Dead Guy Ale
It was originally created to celebrate the Mayan Day of the Dead on November 1, so it’s comforting to know the beer has already proved itself worthy on the battlefield. According to their website, Dead Guy Ale is a German-style Maibock made with a malty aroma, rich hearty flavor and a well balanced finish.
7. Gravedigger
I can’t imagine why you would be digging a grave during a zombie siege, unless it was your own. If that’s the case, it’s perfect for giving that extra buzz while you dig a deep hole to rest your cranially damaged head into, so as not to come back a zombie yourself. Brewed by DogFish.
6. Immort Ale
This beer is only sold in the spring, so if you would like to have it on hand during a zombie attack at any other time of the year, please plan accordingly. Pours a little reddish hue in color.
5. La Guillotine
Although it is not likely that you would have the physical contraption, you can still at least have the beer. It tastes so good that, when reinforcing window planks, some zombies seem more interested in grabbing it out of my hand than my hand itself. They seem to lose their head over it.
4. Orkney Skullsplitter
3. Trompe La Mort (Mistaken Death)
Mistaken Death can take on a variety of meanings. The mistaken assumption that a zombie is dead and will not rise is the most dangerous. To check if a corpse is truly dead or not, sprinkle a little bit of this beer on the lips. If the body starts licking its lips, be prepared to bolt.
2. La Fin Du Monde (The End of the World)
We can all agree that sometimes during a zombie attack we can become discouraged, feeling almost as if it were the end of the world. So, what better way to accept the end of the world than by drinking the beer of the same name? La Fin Du Monde is a delicious Belgian-style triple fermentation golden ale, which will leave you feeling fine all the way to the end.
1. Ale Of The Living Dead
What do you do when the last of the barricades have been broken and legless corpses are crawling at your feet? Bust out a bottle of Ale of the Living Dead, of course! This beer was brewed for the “Night of the Living Dead” / 7th birthday party bash at the Magic Hat brewery. It’s made with 80% domestic pale malt, 15% carared malt, 5% melanoidin malt, and garlic to say the least. It’s definitely a beer you’ll keep coming back for, even after you’re dead.
