Ommegang Brewery Fire & Blood Red Ale
Ommegang Brewery has cooked up perhaps the best batch yet of Game of Thrones ales in their third round following the celebrated Iron Throne Blonde Ale and Take the Black Stout. Inspired by House Targaryen, the Fire & Blood Red Ale features a collectible series of labels, one for each of the three dragons on the show: Drogon, Rhaegal and Viserion. A hearty drink for your goblet, this fiery ale -- it's spiced with de-seeded Ancho chilies -- has a fruity, sweetish malt taste and boasts a deep, dark red hue with a persistent, creamy, off-white head and aromas of ripe fruit, raisins, malt and slight spice, followed by a slightly floral and spicy hop character.

Instead of a devil on one shoulder and an angel on another, perhaps you could use these. These small vinyl figurines capture the rough nature of your favorite characters while simultaneously being as cute as can be. King Joffrey sports his stag horn crown and crossbow, while the new Tyrion Lannister Battle Armor figurine displays his battle scar and axe at the ready. Of course, many more characters from the series are available, individually or in bulk.
