i wonder who at Revolution Brewing even remembers who Mean Gene Okerlund was/is? It’s almost TOO forced.
Beers being named for CULT/obscure references. It’s alot like Hollywood remaking every every sitcom from the 70’s. Okay… could be worse, Lex Lager? British Ale Bulldogs? Jake the Snake Rauchbier.
Hipsters naming beers after 70’s/80’s wrestlers? not funny.
Of course… “Mean Gene” might not be about who i’m implying. ha!
Are Midwest brewers automatically hipsters or do you know them personally?
