To capitalize on what Forbes calls the "upscale geek" market, HBO and Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, N.Y., are collaborating on a line of Game of Thrones beers that will hit stores in 2013.

One would think a Lemoncakes Pale Ale would be in order, followed by a Joffrey Is a Douche Lager and—keeping the series' grim atmosphere in mind—an All the Characters You Like Are Going to Die Imperial Stout.
