2018 is the year of the Mirror Universe, with Star Trek: Discovery’s first-season storyline, upcoming comic series, and the sequel to IDW’s Mirror Broken comic taking the TNG crew back across the dimensional divide — and now there’s an official beer of the Mirror Universe, too.
Shmaltz Brewing Company, who has developed several varieties of Trek-themed beers since 2016, now offers “Terrans Unite!” India Pale Lager, styled with artwork from J.K. Woodward’s 2017 Star Trek: TNG – Mirror Broken comics.
From Shmaltz’ website:
What if there was another world, a world that appeared similar to our own, with the same people, the same places, and even the same advancements in technology, but a world in which the motives and ethics of its inhabitants were turned upside down? The heroic now villainous and the noble corrupt, valuing power over peace and willing to obtain their desires by any means necessary – this is the Terran Empire in the Mirror Universe.
Our universe may feel villainous and corrupt at times, but we can still find comfort in good friends and tasty beer. By spanning north and south, east and west, continents and traditions, Mirror Universe blends ingredients bringing together the world of brave new craft brewing. HOPS – MALTS – LAGER – UNITE!
MALTS: 2-Row, Pilsen, Patagonia 90
HOPS: Pacific Gem, Centennial
5% ABV
This is the seventh variety of Trek beer the company has developed over the past few years, with the most recent being the “Captain’s Holiday” ale in December.
You can track down Smaltz’s Star Trek beers at distributors in your area, or stop by their brewery if you’re in the New York area.
