Philadelphia raised the bar so high in the professional sports team mascot game with Gritty. Like, they were already on top of the game with the Phanatic but Gritty is just fucking next level. I love him.
Gritty has cast a spell on us all… or maybe not all of us. but still. Today’s Inktober, marker sketch going out with a hockey art yearbook order; and will likely become a woodcut in next year’s edition.
A 'Gritty' Beer, Dedicated to Flyers' Mascot, Is Already in the Making
Everybody loves Gritty now, right?
OK, cool.
The Gritty wave is reaching all kinds of levels now with a beer dedicated to the Flyers' new mascot, who was just introduced to the world less than 30 hours ago.
Broken Goblet Brewing, in Bristol, Pennsylvania, announced Tuesday, as we discovered on Reddit, it will release "Nightmare Fuel" on Oct. 13.
It sounds like a tasty beverage with a punch of Broad Street Bullies.
And, of course, with a ton of grit, as you can see by the image:
Here is the detailed description:
We just had to. Saturday, October 13th, we will be releasing NIGHTMARE FUEL, a lightly hopped Cream Ale brewed with vanilla and "bruised and bloodied" oranges. Resin and pine from the Chinook addition, and a touch of Saaz hops accent the sweetness of the vanilla and the tart orange in this fluffy ale. Very special limited edition crowlers will be released as well as draft. Special shout out to our friends on FB for the funny names and beer ideas! Extra special thanks to Mark Salmon who - ONCE AGAIN - comes through with the art in blazing speed.
