God of Thunder Returns: Tenaya Creek’s 9% Baltic Porter Strikes Again at Beer Zombies

If you felt a rumble in the Las Vegas beer scene, don’t worry — it wasn’t the weather. God of Thunder is officially back, just in time to celebrate 26 years of brewing in the valley, and she showed up with every ounce of storm energy we hoped for.

Brewed by Tenaya Creek and unleashed by the legends at Beer Zombies, this year’s release is the kind of beer that makes even IPA loyalists sit down, shut up, and behave.

Meet God of Thunder: A 9% Baltic Porter With Holy Power

Let’s be dramatic for a second — because this beer deserves an entrance.

Style: Baltic PorterABV: 9%Profile:

• Deep roasted malt

• Dark chocolate

• Toasted caramel

• Caramel + vanilla warmth

• A hint of dried fruit

• A clean lagered finish that makes it way too drinkable for 9%

This is a beer with presence. A beer with upper management energy. A beer you pull out for the holidays, for celebrations, or for nights when you want to be emotionally unhinged in a classy way.

As Rubi put it best:

“This is a sophisticated beer.”

The Can Art: A Storm in Your Hand

You can spot the new release instantly — a black-and-purple can with lightning strikes cracking across the label and a silhouette of the God of Thunder commanding the storm.

It’s giving:

• Metal album cover

• Ancient deity

• “Call me daddy” energy

• Masculine but still feminine-delicious

• Father figure but make it boozy

Tasting Notes by the Pour Decisions Girlies (Rubi & Tania)

We rolled up. We sipped. We had a moment.

First Sip Reaction:

“It’s giving whiskey energy.” – Tania

This year’s God of Thunder is smooth, layered, and dangerously elegant.The caramel-vanilla warmth hits first, followed by dark chocolate comfort, toasted malt, and that signature Baltic Porter silkiness.

It's bold but refined — like the kind of man who orders neat bourbon and actually deserves custody of the kids.

The Vibe:

• Sophisticated

• Holiday-worthy

• Reserve label energy

• The kind of beer you flex

• A slow-sipper with a fast effect

• “Hardy, warm, delicious, father-figure beer”

If beers had star signs, this one is Scorpio Sun, Capricorn Moon, Daddy Rising.
