Stop Everything, There Are Now 2 'Breaking Bad' IPAs

Brewers Ted Rice, Jeff Jinnett, and John Gozigian are huge fans of the TV show Breaking Bad. After all, the AMC series is filmed in Albuquerque, N.M., where the trio has run Marble Brewery since 2008. Several Marble beers have made cameos on the show, and cast members have found themselves relaxing after a shoot in the Marble tap rooms.

Next week, on August 8, the brewery will release two commemorative beers in honor of the fifth and final season of Breaking Bad, the second half of which premieres on August 11. The first, named Heisenberg's Dark after main character Walter White's alter ego, is a black IPA, according to the craftbeer.com. The second is a white IPA called Walt's White Lie — a reference obvious to anyone familiar with the show's premise (a school teacher turned meth dealer to support his family).

Breaking Bad fans outside New Mexico are out of luck when it comes to sampling these brews, as Marble doesn't yet distribute out of state. The beers will be available on draft at all three Marble tap rooms (two in Albuquerque and one in Santa Fe), as well as select local draft accounts. Perhaps a trip to the Southwest is in order?
