Walking Nightmare Gritty Is Getting His Own Beer That You Can Drink To Forget How Terrifying He Is

Earlier this week, the Philadelphia Flyers decided it would be a good idea to open a portal to the underworld in search of a new mascot before summoning a demon spawn known as “Gritty.”

If you’ve (for some reason) ever wondered what it would look like if Grimace and the Animal from The Muppets had a child together you finally got your answer.

I’m sorry you had to see that picture, but if I have to be subjected to it, so do you.

The internet largely reacted by recoiling in horror at this monstrous creation with more than a few people begging the Flyers to banish Gritty back where it came from, but sadly, their pleas fell on deaf ears and the walking horror made its debut at a preseason game on Monday night.

Unfortunately, things didn’t exactly go smoothly.

Like the aliens from Signs, it appears Gritty is also vulnerable to water (as long as it’s frozen), which is good to know when he sets out on his quest to enslave the world.

Gritty is truly the thing nightmares are made of, and thanks to Pennsylvania’s Broken Goblet Brewing, we now have an appropriately named beer we can turn to in order to forget the mascot exists in the form of “Nightmare Fuel.”

According to NBC Sports, the brewery announced the upcoming release of the beer on Tuesday along with a description of what we can expect and it actually sounds delicious:

Saturday, October 13th, we will be releasing NIGHTMARE FUEL, a lightly hopped Cream Ale brewed with vanilla and “bruised and bloodied” oranges. Resin and pine from the Chinook addition, and a touch of Saaz hops accent the sweetness of the vanilla and the tart orange in this fluffy ale.

Let’s just hope Gritty doesn’t unleash its wrath on the brewery before it gets a chance to release it.
