Toast the Constitution With a Ruth Bader Ginsburg Beer

But you’ll have to go to Boston to get it

Boston beer brand Sam Adams is releasing a beer in honor of Supreme Court judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Fittingly for Ginsburg’s (at-times) fiery dissents, it’s a spicy Belgian IPA, named “When There Are Nine,” in reference to the judge’s response to a question about when there would be enough women on the Supreme Court. An event page for the beer’s release notes (perhaps jokingly) that there were plans to call the beer “Brut Bader Ginsburg” (“but our legal team, uh, dissented,” the page notes).

The beer has limited availability (like, for three hours this Friday), so mercifully, the beer company isn’t cashing in too hard on the image of a pioneering octogenarian.
