Shirt.Woot

Was wondering when someone would think up a GoT alcohol shirt.

I don't get it.

It looks good, but since I haven't read the book or seen the show, I don't get it.

It would make more sense if it was a black shirt...

The red eyes are uber creepy, seriously makes the wolf pop off the shirt. Great detail.

Excellent coloring but I don't want to start conversations I can't finish because I haven't read the book.

there are probably 3-4 different beer/ale themed GoT shirts out there - Baratheon, Stark,etc.

This shirt is far from unique.

I prefer Gollum's Precious Pale Ale myself. It has a nice taste and the bottles never leave a ring behind on the table. It rules them all I tell ya!

I'm a bit infuriated with the band member/person/thing from the write-up. They should be beaten with a Hipster/Irony Hammer for not actually knowing any of the source material for their snobbishness...

I think they meant that someone here on woot.com should have created a GoT-based alcohol shirt already...

I needed a good shirt and a good brew to keep me warm... since winter is coming.

I see what you did there

Minor nitpick - I normally see alcohol percentage listed as "% ABV" (Alcohol By Volume). Don't think I've ever seen "alc".

I'm torn. This should be a pale lager instead of a pale ale.

Ales are a warm fermentation process, while lagers are a cold fermentation process.

Here is another awesome one.

this artist also did a Black Stag Stout shirt.

For a moment, when I saw the tiny thumbnail pic on the main page, I thought someone finally made a Clan Ghost Beer shirt.

Lovely illustration, that is one direwolf I wouldn't want to get in a staring contest with.

It's not tv - it's HBO!

In all seriousness, this is a beautiful graphic, well done.

It's hard to crack wise without spoiling, so I'll just say that's an incredibly awesome shirt, marrying my favorite type of beer with perhaps my favorite character in the entire saga because let's face it, Ghost is awesome, and is the one thing truly missing from Game of Thrones on HBO.

Now my white ale begins.

I just think it's cool that Dire Wolves actually existed.

Hmmmm... I don't watch much TV. Prefer to waste my time on the internet. Cool design, but I have 100% no idea what show the shirt refers to. Of course, I'm the type of person who'd wear the shirt and start a conversation by saying just that.

Well, you know, you could always read the books... Ghost is hardly on the TV show, or as I always say, is often there, but with his eyes closed and his nose buried in the snow.

Question for the artist: You have a fantastic name. Do people ever call you "Bear Slayer", and if not, why not?

Ha! Actually, I sometimes do get called that, but you misspelled it. It's BEER Slayer.

Yes, but that's not a known style. A Belgian White Ale is quite common (and delicious. Mmm, Hoegaarden.)

Beautiful design, lovely art work. Im not really an ale drinker, and I've yet to see an "ale label tshirt" that I would personally wear. However whenever I see them I do always think they are clever and usually very well put together. This one is most definitely no exception. Great work

I can see it going either way really. Sure, the night's watch wears a lot of black... but ghost is a white direwolf and the wall is a giant block of ice covered with tons and tons of white snow.

If I were to suggest any critism it would be having the phrase "the north" on the design. I would prefered something a little more specific such as the shadow tower, castle black or eastwatch-by-the-sea. But that's just the ASOIAF nerd in me...

umm, Weiss, a Kolsch. Wikipedia notes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6lsch_%28beer%29 it is making a comeback.

I think I would like this more if it weren't for the wolf. I don't want to look like every other '90's D&D playing, Josta drinking, pony-tail having, 35 year old virgin (if I described someone here exactly, I'm sorry. But you can regain a little piece of your manhood by going to a strip club, now. Right now).

Don't let Coors, Budweiser, Miller, Beck's, Michelob, Pilsner, Busch, Rolling Rock, Land Shark, Heineken, Foster, or Lablatt hear that. They might have to do more advertising to get the word out about pale lagers.

And the Bavarians might be hurt to think no one knows of their Oktoberfestbier. They should really start a celebration for that.

That beer is a tasty bastard!

Just to nitpick a little more, Kolsch isn't a lager either. It's fermented with ale yeast at warmer temperatures and then cold conditioned (lager-ed). Sometime lager yeast is added for bottling or during conditioning but that doesn't make it a lager.

I love how this shirt gets people talking about both A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones AND beer.

Well, I think this just goes to show the trouble that Snow Brewing has had since Eddard died.

Until then they were brewing their own cave lagers, but since he died they outsourced their production to King's Landing, switched over to ales, and now they're just slapping their label on a Crownlands import.

I really want this shirt T.T to bad I can't buy Woot Shirts anymore because Guys smalls are too big, Kids are too short and the new women's sizes are like a tent because they're basically made for fat people now.

I've got a ton of wine woot purchases and a few regular woots, but up until today I was a shirt woot virgin. No longer.

Not much to get, just a visual pun like his other shirts [not that I am complaining, I am collecting them all].

The wolf is named Ghost, who is owned by Jon Snow (who knows nothing BTW). They live in The North and defend the realms of men behind The Wall (in the background). Jon's bastard sword Longclaw is the partition.

Really, you don't want to be friends with people who don't get your shirt.

It is known.
