New Game Of Thrones Season 7 Beer Bend The Knee Coming In May
David Brown
Get ready, folks. It’s almost time. You know what time it is, right? It’s that glorious, slightly terrifying, always surprising time. Yes, the whispers have been growing louder. The dragons are stirring. The wolves are howling. And this May, our favorite show is back with a brand new season. But this isn’t just any old season. Oh no. This is Game of Thrones Season 7. And it’s bringing something new to the table. Something… fizzy.
They’re calling it “Bend the Knee”. Now, usually, when we hear “Bend the Knee” in Westeros, it means one thing: surrender. A grim, often bloody, and very dramatic affair. But in this case, it’s got a slightly different, dare I say, bubbly connotation. Because “Bend the Knee” is actually a beer. Yes, you heard me. A Game of Thrones beer. Because apparently, after all that dragonfire and White Walker drama, what we all really need is a good, cold brew. And who am I to argue?
I mean, think about it. For years, we’ve been glued to our screens, clutching our… well, whatever we clutched. Tissues? Our sanity? Our remotes to pause and frantically Google who’s who? And through it all, what was missing? A proper beverage, steeped in the lore of the Seven Kingdoms. Sure, we’ve all probably poured ourselves a drink while watching. A glass of wine for Daenerys, a whiskey for Tyrion, maybe something a bit… stronger for anyone dealing with Cersei. But this? This is official. This is sanctioned. This is a Game of Thrones beer, named after a pivotal (and usually terrifying) phrase from the show.
And the name! “Bend the Knee”. It’s genius, really. It perfectly captures that feeling we get when we see a new season announcement. We just… bend the knee to its awesomeness. We surrender to the hype. We give in to the inevitable binge-watching sessions that will consume our weekends. It’s a declaration of our devotion. And also, you know, a reminder that you should probably have a cold one. Especially if you’re watching with friends who are constantly spoiling things.
Now, I know what some of you might be thinking. “A beer? For a show about dragons and ice zombies? Isn’t that a bit… silly?” And to that, I say: perhaps. But also, why not? We’re talking about a show that has brought us iconic moments, heart-wrenching deaths, and enough political intrigue to make your head spin. We’ve invested our emotions, our time, and probably a significant portion of our Netflix subscription fees into this epic saga. A themed beer seems like a perfectly logical, and frankly, delightful, next step. It’s the ultimate fan service. It’s saying, “We appreciate you. Now have a drink on us.” (Okay, not on them, but you get the idea.)

It’s the perfect companion for those nail-biting moments. You know, the ones where you’re screaming at the TV, “No, don’t go in there, you idiot!” A good beer can cushion the blow of betrayal, or at least make your celebratory cheers sound more impressive.

We’ve all been enduring the long, cold wait between seasons. And now, we get to celebrate it with a drink that’s as epic as the show itself. Let’s get ready to return to Westeros, and let’s do it with a refreshing, thematic beverage in hand. It’s what the realm deserves. And frankly, it’s what we deserve too.
