Official Gen Con Beer from Sun King

Sun King Brewing

Every summer, thousands of gamers, from all over the globe, flock to downtown Indianapolis to partake in Gen Con, The Best Four Days In Gaming. This yearly tabletop gaming convention is virtual this year, but didn't stop Sun King from continuing the tradition and brewing a yearly beer as a tribute to the event.  

We tallied the votes submitted by thousands of Gen Con fans on what style of beer we would brew, and Belgian-Style Amber Ale was determined the winner. We named this beer in honor of Genevieve the Dragon, Gen Con's beloved mascot.

Genevieve is a Belgian/Abbey-Style Amber Ale with malty sweetness and a fruity, sweet, and spicy character. Fans bring home a 4-Pack of cans or growler/crowler from any of our 5 Sun King locations starting Thursday, July 30.
