I don’t know if Nile main­man Karl Sanders enjoys a beer or not, but if he does par­take in the odd breski like so many of his fans, he might be inter­ested in a new beer being pro­duced in Den­ver.

The Wynkoop Brew­ing Com­pany has brewed “Tut’s Royal Gold” in con­junc­tion with the Den­ver Art Museum’s ‘Tutankhamun The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs’ exhibit.

Tut’s Royal Gold is an unfil­tered “Impe­r­ial Egypt­ian Ale” of about 6% ABV made with pale malts, ancient fer­menta­bles (honey, wheat, teff) and a list of spices that includes tamarind, corian­der, grains of par­adise, orange peel and rose petals. The beer is fer­mented with a wheat beer yeast and is served unfil­tered for extra, (very) old-school authenticity.

Sounds orright to me, but really, bring­ing this piece of news to you all was just an excuse to embed a Nile video.

في صحتكم! (that’s how they say “’cheers’ in Egypt, apparently)
