In China You Can Buy World Of Warcraft Beer, For Some Reason
The China-based beer company Tsingtao Beer recently launched a World of Warcraft-themed brew in promotion of the recent film.
Spotted by Collectors Society user Revat on a recent trip to China, the large beer set comes with two 16-ounce cans featuring the orc Durotan and Anduin Lothar and what appears to be a pendant. The beer inside is Tsingtao's 1903 Tsingtao Lager, as pointed out by The Beijinger. If you're interested in buying your own set, there are currently a few for sale on eBay ranging around $20 and $30.
Though, to be fair, it's not necessarily a surprise China is producing odd merchandising around the Warcraft film; the movie is currently breaking records in the East, making $156 million in five days.
Legendary films recently announced a comic serving as a prequel to the film.
