Hellboy turns 22 this year – that’s how long it’s been since Mike Mignola first premiered the demon-hero in San Diego Comin-Con Comics #2. Now that he’s the legal drinking age, Oregon-based brewery Rogue Ales has created The Right Hand of Doom Beer!
This limited edition red ale is a collaboration with Dark Horse Comics and the label features art from Mignola. The beer just debuted at Portland’s comic shop Things From Another World and it also available for pre-order at Rogue’s website.
“When Dark Horse Comics published the first Hellboy story 21 years ago, I never imagine there’d be a Hellboy beer,” said Mignola in a statement. “But I really can’t imagine a better time for Rogue to introduce the Right Hand of Doom beer. If Hellboy was real I guess he’d finally be able to buy me a beer.”
“Hellboy has appeared in graphic novels and comic books, prose novels, two animated features, two live action films, toy lines and all manner of merchandise,” said Mike Richardson, President of Dark Horse. “Rogue Ales approached us with the idea of creating a heavy-handed, supernatural red ale and we loved the idea of two independent, Portland based companies coming together to create something new that would be both fun for fans and worthy of the Mike Mignola’s creative legacy.”
“This beer is dedicated to the B.P.R.D,” said Brett Joyce, President of Rogue Ales. “Right Hand of Doom is brewed with all the same passion and intensity that Mike Mignola and Dark Horse have brought to Hellboy for the past 21 years.”
