We here at Beltramo’s have been lucky enough to get hold of a very limited quantity of this epic release, just in time to celebrate the new season in style. Due to high demand for this great beer, there will be a limit of two per customer, so come down to Beltramo’s and snap up your very own Iron Throne Blonde Ale ($8.99) while supplies last.

I would highly recommend enjoying this beer seated comfortably in front of a roaring fire, because as we all know, Winter is coming……
