Their beer, dubbed "Ghost Face Killah", spelt slightly different from the way the rapper spells, isn't endorsed by Ghostface or even associated with him. However, they tried.
Twisted Pine has tried to reach out to Ghostface in an attempt to forge a partnership to no avail
"We tried to get in touch with him, but we didn't receive a call back," GM Jody Valenta told the paper. "We wanted to contact Ghostface to set up a partnership with him."
Valenta said the Ghost Face Killah beer is brewed with five different peppers, including the Bhut Jolokia, a pepper so hot it can be weaponized, and one sometimes referred to as "ghost pepper."
Ghostface, therefore, can't take full credit for inspiring the name of the beer. Valenta clarified that, technically, the brewery lifted the name from a character in the kung-fu film "Mystery of Chessboxing" -- and then double-checked with its lawyers.
Twisted Pine is touted the beer as the "hottest beer this side of hell," and has submitted it to the Guinness Book of World Records to be named the hottest in the world.
The Ghost Face Killah beer is limited to 100 bottles, and will be available in time for Cinco de Mayo (May 5).
