A Colorado-based brewery releases "Ghost Face Killah" beer, cites Ghostface Killah and kung fu film as inspirations behind the name.
Wu Tang’s own Ghostface Killah may have possibly been part of the inspiration behind a new beer from Colorado-based brewery Twisted Pine. The beer which is dubbed as being the “hottest beer this side of hell” is titled the “Ghost Face Killah” and features a skull engulfed in flames holding a pepper on its label.
According to a representative for the company they even reached out to Ghostface in regards to their new beer, but didn’t receive a response.
"We tried to get in touch with him, but we didn't receive a call back," Twisted Pine general manager Jody Valenta explained to the Los Angeles Times. "We wanted to contact Ghostface to set up a partnership with him."
Valenta also explained that the name of the beer was also inspired by a character from the 1979 kung fu film Mystery Of Chessboxing. “Da Mystery Of Chessboxin’” is also the name of a track featured on Wu Tang’s debut album Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers).
Created using a combination of five different peppers, including the sometimes lethal Bhut Jolokia pepper, the “Ghost Face Killah” beer will be available on a very limited basis. Only 100 bottles will be released by Twisted Pine.
