The new Game of Thrones themed beer, Valar Dohaeris, literally means “All Men Must Serve”
Fans of the hit HBO show chose the name and style of the beer in a facebook poll. is full name is Valar Dohaeris Tripel Ale.
In true Game of Thrones style, Valar Dohaeris : “All men must serve” is the typical response to Valar Morghulis : “All men must die”.
This new tripel ale “pays homage to Arya’s season-long struggles within and around the House of Black and White”.
The bloody coin on the bottle, by the way, represents the “two- headed” coin given to Arya Stark by Jaqen H’ghar, which gained her passage to Braavos at the end of Season four.
All men must die; all beers must serve
“When we got a sense of the season’s key plot points, we knew right away Valar Dohaeris was the new beer name and that bringing back Valar Morghulis was a must,” says Bill Wetmore, General Manager and Marketing Director for Brewery Ommegang. “And I think HBO’s fantastic idea to have the gift pack mimic the House of Black and White is really going to be a hit with fans. It looks killer and I think fans are going to scoop them up pretty quickly for gifts or for their own collections.”

Valar Dohaeris is 9% ABV, and is brewed with pils, wheat, oats, and flaked barley, and hopped with noble hops.
They also throw some candi sugar in during brewing, resulting in a bright, sweet flavor.
