Six weeks from today will be May the Fourth; Star Wars Day. As of now, there are six films in the Star Wars saga. Coincidence? I think not. Therefore, starting today, and every Saturday leading up to Star Wars Day, FTS will be releasing a Star Wars Drinking Game! Today we begin with The Phantom Menace. I know this film isn’t a favorite amongst fans, but after a few beers, the movie is quite enjoyable. So sit back, relax, pop in your VHS/DVD/BluRay copy of Episode I, and may the force be with you.
– Someone says “Jedi”
– Lightsabers are drawn
– Jar Jar says “Okey Day”
– A Droid says “Roger, Roger”
– Someone says “Sith”
– The word ‘Midi-chlorian’ is spoken
Chug Your Beer For The Duration Of:
– Jar-Jar’s leap into the water
– Yoda’s infamous fear speech
SITH RULES:
Instead of Drinking, Take A Shot When:
– Jar-Jar says “Okey Day”
– A Droid says “Roger, Roger”
– You hear the Wilhelm Scream
When playing SITH RULES, we recommend Absolut Vodka, because only a sith deals in absolutes.
One stand out aspect of The Phantom Menace is the podracing featured in the movie. These races were an entertaining part of the film and played a vital role in its plot. Bear Republic is a brewery whose theme centers around racing. Their flagship brew, Racer 5, is an easy drinking IPA with a citrus hop character and sweet, bready malts. The beer is well balanced with a nice level of bitterness that invites you to drink it. When you begin watching the Star Wars films, you are starting the daunting task of watching six movies. Coincidentally Racer 5 comes in a six pack, and it will help you realize how easy it is to get through six of something. Racer 5 is a great beer to start off a night of drinking, so use it to start of the Stars Wars saga.
