Purple Falcon Software: The Beer of Star Wars

Whether taking a respite at a Mos Eisley cantina or rubbing shoulders with the hoi polloi at a Coruscant nightclub, the characters in Star Wars are going to get thirsty.

And when they do, what will be their brew of choice?

This question, which has befuddled the masses for decades, we will attempt to answer below (feel free to offer your insights.)

Darth Vader

Surly Furious

Well of course Anakin Skywalker would drink no other beer than Surly Furious. Not only does the name describe him perfectly, but the beer itself is dark, mysterious, and will take you out of commission if you're not careful. Do not underestimate the power of the dark beer.

Han Solo

Odell Myrcenary

Yes, Han ended up becoming a hero. But there's no denying the fact that in Episode IV his main motivator was money. Saving a princess solely for a reward definitely qualifies as mercenary. Solo gives Odell's brew this ringing endorsement: "I don't have a bad feeling about this."

The Sarlacc

The Abyss (Deschutes Brewery)

I feel kind of sorry for The Sarlacc. For a long time now, he drinks The Abyss from Deschutes because he thinks that it was named after him. But he isn't the only one to benefit from the delicious beer. Boba Fett was quoted as saying, "Yes, it's no picnic being slowly digested by a giant plant monster. But if I can help pass the time by drinking a refreshing beverage like The Abyss, it's almost worth it."

Sebulba

AleSmith Speedway Stout

What else to refresh a parched podracer on a hot Malastare afternoon than the fittingly named Speedway Stout? And as an added benefit, this beer is like drinking a fine cup of coffee, motivating a Dug to reach that finish line in style.

Lando Calrissian

Colt 45

In an amazing coincidence, Lando's beer of choice is the same as Billy Dee Williams, the actor that plays him. Whether dealing with a stressful day managing Cloud City or making a guest appearance on The Jeffersons, Colt 45 makes everything go a little smoover.
