An imposing, castle-like stone building glowing with dramatic lighting at dusk stands along a quiet street, evoking the thrilling atmosphere of a haunted attraction just before guests arrive for an immersive adventure.

Game of Thrones and a nice big mug of beer seem to go together perfectly, and Ommegang is teaming up with Eastern State Penitentiary to debut a new beer in their ‘Game of Thrones’ collection.

On Wednesday, June 21 from 8PM – 11PM, Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia transforms into a castle in Westeros, where guests can celebrate the new Bend the Golden Knee beer from Ommegang. The rest of the ‘Game of Thrones’ beer collection will be available to sample, along with meats and cheeses from Di Bruno Bros.

In full Westeros style, guests can enjoy live music and fire spinners while they sample beers. Even the Iron Throne itself will make an appearance.
