Brew-th Bader Ginsburg is a thing.

Well, almost. Samuel Adams has a new limited-edition beer inspired by U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

It's a Belgian Brut IPA, called When There Are Nine, a reference to Ginsburg's famous reply to the question about when there will be enough women on the Supreme Court.

You might say the beer gives new meaning to the term "bar exam."

But before you swap "oyez" for "cheers," know that this is a blink-and-you-miss-it beer. The booze – brewed on International Women’s Day, aka. March 8 – was scheduled to be served last Friday at the Samuel Adams Boston Brewery at an event hosted with the Pink Boots Society, a national organization that supports women working in the beer industry.

Samuel Adams brewed 20 kegs, the equivalent of about 2,500 beers. What wasn't consumed at the fundraiser will be served at the Tap Room while supplies last, according to the Boston Beer Co., which makes Samuel Adams.

The jury’s out on what the Ginsburg suds taste like.

Every year, women at breweries across the country team up to brew special beers in March, Women’s History Month.

"This year, we wanted to pay homage with this beer to the women who inspire us and blaze trails for other women, like R.B.G.," said Samuel Adams brewer Megan Parisi. "We share her passion and hope these collaborations will continue to celebrate women in brewing."

Through a Supreme Court spokeswoman, Ginsburg declined to comment.

Last year, for example, the company brewed a Double IPA named The Real Alewives of Boston.

The Boston Beer Co. isn't a company known to wade into politics, though in August, some people called for a boycott after co-founder Jim Koch praised President Donald Trump at an event at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

Ginsburg – nicknamed the Notorious R.B.G., a play on the name of the late rapper Notorious B.I.G. – has become a pop culture icon.

In January, "The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part" director announced the justice will become a Lego figure. Last year, she was the subject of the feature film "On the Basis of Sex" and the documentary "RBG." "Saturday Night Live" actress Kate McKinnon regularly impersonates her – or a version of her that drops red-hot insults called "Ginsburns" – and in 2017, her exercise regimen became the stuff of legal and legwarmer legend with the publication of her trainer's workout book.
