New York Comic Con is almost upon us. Just like they have in years past
Brooklyn Brewery is once again teaming up with
ReedPOP, the world’s largest producer of pop culture events to
create a beer for
New York Super Week, the week leading up to the
convention.
Amy Reeder of
Rocket Girl and
Madame Xanadu fame has been recruited to redesign the beer’s label and the female hero featured on it, Brooklyn Defender. Brooklyn Defender is the first female to go with a New York Comic Con
beer, and she does, in fact, look like she’s ready to defend beer.
OtakusandGeeks was front and center during the release party of the new beer on September 10, 2014. Brooklyn Defender will serve as the official beer not just for NYCC, but
for the larger New York Super Week that has sprung up this year to
involve more of the city in the festivities. Look for Brooklyn Defender during NYCC and New York Super Week, but remember to con responsibly.
In the meantime, enjoy the gallery below of OtakusandGeeks attending the release party at Brooklyn Brewery.
