Hellboy Beer Gets 666 Limited Edition Boxes
Hellboy Beer Gets 666 Limited Edition Boxes #beer #hellboy
Oregon’s Gigantic Brewing and Dark Horse Comics are teaming up to create 666 Limited Edition Hellboy Collectors Boxes, featuring Hellboy beer, based on award-winning cartoonist Mike Mignola’s legendary character. The acclaimed Hellboy beers were introduced in 2019 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the publication of Hellboy: Seed of Destruction.

The Corpse Reviver was first mixed as a hangover cure. It was said to be so potent one drink would wake even the dead. Various recipes for the cocktail exist, the most popular being #2, a blend of equal parts gin, vermouth, cointreau, and lemon juice with a splash of absinthe for texture. Gigantic’s Corpse Reviver #2 is a sour beer aged in gin barrels with whole lemons and oranges. It’s delicious.
There seems to be a trend in brewing to perfectly mimic non-beer flavors. The hazy IPA tastes exactly like Sunny Delight. The chocolate and marshmallow stout tastes like s’mores. The inspiration and the beer itself should be indistinguishable. The more you’re strawberry blonde tastes like strawberry, the more successful it is. Gigantic’s team was inspired by a classic combination of citrus and gin, but didn’t try to create a complete facsimile. Gigantic’s Corpse Reviver #2 still tastes like beer.
I have a feeling the base beer was somewhere between a double IPA and a barleywine. Reviver retains a malty sweetness upfront before transitioning into an interesting melange of juniper tang and a tart citrus finish. It’s over nine percent. You can feel the strength in every sip. It’s not hot, but it’s got body and heft. Gigantic’s version isn’t nearly as powerful as the original. It won’t wake the dead, but it might tickle a zombie.
Name a better duo, I dare you.
PORTLAND, Ore. — Dark Horse Comics and Gigantic Brewing Company got together over the Emerald City con weekend to debut the first of their six Hellboy collaboration beers.
The beers, each of which are specially made to represent a character from the Hellboy series, will be released throughout the year to celebrate 25 years of Mike Mignola’s “Hellboy: Seed of Destruction.”

I was able to taste the inaugural beer in Seattle. It is a maple pancake beer for Hellboy himself and it was amazingly well-balanced and drinkable. That sentiment was echoed from several people I talked to in the bar.
For more from Dark Horse and Gigantic Brewing on their process check out the video below:
If you missed out on the Seattle event, don’t worry. Saturday, March 23 is Hellboy Day and Gigantic Brewing and Dark Horse will be at Things from Another World, located at 2916 NE Broadway, Portland, to celebrate.
Gigantic will have the maple beer on tap, there will be a special Hellboy cake and artists and authors there doing signings. Don’t miss out, the event is from 1 p.m. - 4 p.m.
Now, the beers will be a limited release, with just 666 cases per beer (ha!). However, according to Ben Love, owner of Gigantic Brewing Company, the beers will be in 23 markets. For more about how to get your hands on some, check out Gigantic Brewing’s website.

I’ve got a simple philosophy that I live by and its this: As long as I’ve got a beer in one hand and a comic in t’other, I’m happy. It’s a simple rule but it works a treat.
