Sydney, Australia – 28th October, 2015:

To celebrate the upcoming release of the highly anticipated Call of Duty: Black Ops III on the 6th November, three young Aussie craft brewers from the Gold Coast have created a world first, limited edition Call of Duty: Black Hops III – Midnight Pale Ale. The beer will be available to purchase in limited quantities, exclusively in Australia through www.beerbud.com.au/BlackHopsIII from the 2nd November.

"“When Activision first contacted us we thought it was a hoax and had no idea that would turn into this amazing partnership. We love beer and we love video games, especially Call of Duty, so when the opportunity to create Black Hops III to celebrate the launch of the new game came up, we jumped at it” said Michael ‘Govs’ McGovern, Head Brewer and Co-Founder of Black Hops Brewing."

Did something happen that is making game companies move away from Mt Dew to Beer?

Beer appeals to both teens and adults.

Someone needs to mix this and that hideously overpriced Fallout 4 beer to make the ultimate corporate tie-in beverage

I'm sure in the US where people who know nothing about gaming still liken gaming to something only 13 year olds do, Dew will still be the go-to drink.

I might order two six packs. One to drink on release night and the other to store in my juggernaut edition fridge (I bet they won't even fit lol).

Can I still enjoy it if I haven't had Black Hops 1 or 2 or will the story not make any sense?

This price is making you guys balk?
Tip : don't ever drink while going out in Aus, prepare to have your wallet fucked sideways. Craft beer while going out can reach from 9 - 15 bucks a bottle.

$75 a carton...lmao. Some of the prices on that site are a bit out there. Fat Yak for $65? It's $49 at Dan Murphy's. White Rabbit is cheaper at BeerBud though...

Craft beer is about the only beer I don't buy when I go out for a few drinks, unless I'm at one of the pubs that sell schooners of craft beer like the Brunswick Heads pub near me. Then it's a bit cheaper. I often pay up to ~$70 for a case of White Rabbit/Little Creatures/Sierra Nevada etc. but this is an unknown quantity.
