BoldGhost Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Hello all, I know no better place than here to ask this question, so hopefully one of you can help me. I am searching for the first Game of Thrones Ommegang beer, Iron Throne Ale. It was released just before the season 3 premiere and I had tried some of a friends. I thought it was relatively good, but I have since started collecting all the bottles. Now I am trying to catch my collection up and all I need is Iron Throne Ale. I have found 1 place that still has it (from a year ago believe it or not!) within 200 miles from me (Maryland, USA) however, upon calling, they refuse to sell it as they are keeping it for a special occasion that they don't know of yet. Whatever. So now I'm back on the search. I would love some that was un-opened, but I know it's almost impossible. What I do want is someone selling the bottle individually. I have only found 1 person on eBay/ETSY (I'm guessing it's the same lister) and they will only sell their set of bottles and they want something crazy like $200 for 5 empty beer bottles. I am willing to pay a reasonable price, but I'm not paying $200 when I have 4 of the 5 bottles. Does anyone have one, or have any leads? Any help is appreciated.

Cuellar Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Not sure where you live, but I got 2 cases of the stuff in cali. I even have 2 bottles in the fridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becca69 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Cuellar, I would be interested in buying an empty bottle of Iron Throne Ale (with cork) if you're interested in selling? I'm also looking for the 3rd Fire & Blood bottle. It's hard to tell which dragon it is supposed to be but it's the one that is looking over it's back (it's either Viserion or Rhaegal).

Hey, If I was able to buy a couple of bottle from you, you might actually be my lifesaver! I'm looking to replace the couple of bottles that my movers smashed when we were moving apartments :( I live in LA, so it shouldn't be too hard to make it happen if you were willing to part with a couple of bottles! Let me know :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuellar Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Sorry I w as s wrong on the original bottles. I have 2 cases of taking the black, and two bottles in my fridge for the one with dragons on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willofDorne Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I want the Throne one! Iron Throne I think it's called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Jake Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I'd also be interested in an open or unopened Iron Throne ale, depending on price. They sold out immediately at the one store near me that had them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaystation Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Sorry I w as s wrong on the original bottles. I have 2 cases of taking the black, and two bottles in my fridge for the one with dragons on it. I actually enjoyed Taking the Black the most as a drink - so if you still have some of these, Id be happy to take a couple off you to crack open and celebrate when the new season starts!

BoldGhost Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Just saw your post Cuellar. Still looking for Iron Throne Ale if anyone has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becca69 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Yep, I'm looking for Iron Throne Ale also. I have a Take the Black bottle that I can trade if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuellar Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Sorry, just got Fire and Blood and Taking the Black. Was mistaken on the Iron Throne one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoldGhost Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Bump for all of us that still want the good stuff, even though there is little hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaystation Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Definitely little hope. However, I can't imagine the stuff is any good any more. If someone has one that has been sitting around this long, I seriously doubt it was stored in great conditions, and so will almost definitely taste awful :( Take the black should last a little longer thankfully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becca69 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I can't imagine the beer going bad :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaystation Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Unfortunately - I have spoke to a few people who opened theirs a few months after purchasing and commented on the huge change in character of the beer. Still - it won't stop me from picking a couple of for the collection!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaystation Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Also - Ive just seen this - for anyone in New York, that isn't adverse to paying an INSANE price http://newyork.craigslist.org/wch/clt/4605826720.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoldGhost Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 I sure hope it's just a change in character, and not bad. I really just want the bottle since I have already experienced the beer. I am storing a Fire & Blood in preparation for the next season premiere. I wasn't a huge fan so I'm hoping it gets better. The Valar Morghulis that's coming out in the fall sounds promising though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Jake Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 The Valar Morghulis that's coming out in the fall sounds promising though. I am currently enjoying one now, and it is delicious. My first time with a "dubbel" ale (as far as I know) and it's really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
