By JonathanBarkan on April 7, 2016

Sometimes the best way to enjoy a horror movie is to crack open a cold brew and sip on some tasty suds while watching the horror unfold before your very own eyes. Personally, those crips bubbles and delightful hoppy flavor just relax me right away. Sure, I don’t need one for every horror movie I watch but once in a while it’s a great way to end a long day.

So, to celebrate National Beer Day, I found seven horror-inspired beers that sound delicious and should make for a great treat to go along with your favorite slasher! Check ’em out below and let me know your favorite beverage of choice when watching a movie!

Great Lakes Brewing Co. – Nosferatu Imperial Red Ale

“Don’t be afraid of things that go hop in the night! Rich roasted malt flavors haunt the shadows of our Imperial Red Ale’s bitter teeth.”

AleSmith Brewing Company – Evil Red Ale

“Each Halloween we release this special concoction, Evil Dead Red Ale, to celebrate one of our favorite holidays. Deep blood-red in color, an intense aroma of pine and citrus from an abundance of American hops balances the sweetness and rich, bready flavors of this beer’s caramel malts. The result is a fiendishly smooth brew that will make your taste buds scream with delight.”

Shipyard Brewing Company – Little Horror of Hops

“Little Horror of Hops is a hoppy Rye IPA balanced by a complex malt blend. Peppery spice notes and a robust citrus hop flavor complement the dry hop finish.”

Full Pint Brewing – Night of the Living Stout

“From the Depths of the Full Pint fermenters comes a Spine Tingling Stout that will have beer nerds returning from their graves. We single hopped this brew with cascade for a citrus character perfectly balanced with roasted malts for unrelenting great taste.”

Spring House Brewing Company – Lexicon Devil

“Lexicon Devil Grapefruit Pale Ale is a medium-bodied pale ale that has refreshing citrus notes and a distinctive floral hop aroma due to the aggressive addition of hops and grapefruit zest during fermentation. You’ll notice a slight malty sweetness with a balanced hop finish. Perfect to enjoy anytime, anywhere.”

Flat Earth Brewing Company – Mummy Train

“Mummy-powered locomotives were once a frequent sight throughout Egypt, conveying gold, spices and mystical artifacts across the vast desert sands. They have since faded until innuendo and rumor, their presence diminishing with the power of the pharaohs. Now, the Mummy Train of yore passes by just once a year. You may hear its ancient howl in warmer months, but dismiss it as deja vu. The train’s siren song grows through the summer until its unmistakable wail builds to a crescendo in the fall.”
