DENVER – April 14, 2015 – Denver Comic Con and Breckenridge Brewery today announced the details for it’s 2015 official beer. The beer, “Hulk’s Mash,” will be available on select taps around Denver leading up to Denver Comic Con, and at the convention center during the event on Memorial Day weekend, May 23 – 25.
<>On Friday, May 1, The 1Up on Colfax will host a Hulk’s Mash release party featuring DJ N810, DJ Carmello, 90’s cover band The Gin Doctors, and the last show ever by Total Ghost. The first 200 to attend the release party receive a free pint glass.The Beer
<>The beer is delightful pale ale made with mango puree and Mosaic hops. It sounds mild-mannered, but don’t be fooled. Mosaic hops produce an aromatic punch of mango, lemon, citrus, and earthy pine scents. Loads of pulverized mangos heroically balance the hoppy aroma and flavor.The Name
<>As is tradition in March, Breckenridge Brewery hosted its on-line “Name the Comic Con Beer” contest. From 700 entries this year, five finalists were chosen. Then came a public vote. “Hulk’s Mash,” the clever conception of Jonathan Cooper, rose to the top and became the honored 2015 Comic Con beer name.The Label Art
New this year was the label artwork contest, sponsored by Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design (RMCAD). Students at RMCAD were invited to create label designs for Hulk’s Mash, and artwork by Trevor Plaza was chosen to adorn limited-edition commemorative pint glasses.

Leading up to and during Comic Con, Hulk’s Mash can be found at Breckenridge Colorado Craft, Hard Rock Café, Hyatt Regency, Marlowe’s, Paramount Café, Pizza Republica, Tarantula Billiards, The 1up (Colfax and Lodo locations), Tilted Kilt, and World of Beer.
