Twin Peaks, the cult classic of cult classics, returned on Sunday to Showtime. It’s been 25 years, making this a revival of epic proportions. If you haven’t seen Twin Peaks, stop reading now and watch it. If you have, scurry to the ice box and get a beer — you’re going to want one. Join me as we stroll through the extensive list of TP characters and learn a little about what their choice beers (or not-beers) would be.

Fire, walk with me.

[SPOILERS AHEAD]

Coop

Beer: Hot Box Coffee Porter

Because: He’ll take anything that tastes like “damn fine” coffee.

Leo

Beer: Miller High Life

Because: It was previously Kirkland Light, Costco’s budget beer available by the 48-pack, but then it went the way of Leo and got discontinued.

Audrey

Beer: Anderson Valley Briney Melon Gose

Because: This beer is briny and bold. It’s a unique flavor — much like Audrey.

Harry

Beer: Bud Heavy

Because: “Normally if a stranger walked into my station talking this kind of crap, he’d be looking for his teeth two blocks up on Queer Street.” I think that about sums up Sheriff Harry.

Lucy

Beer: Jolly Pumpkin Bam Biere

Because: Lucy is a complex woman. Whether she’s explaining the complicated relationships of hit TV series ‘Invitation to Love’ or exploring the intricacies of Tibetan culture, she’s likely doing it with a Bam Biere. It’s drinkability and easy, harmonious taste take the edge off of Lucy’s otherwise byzantine day.

Andy

Beer: Not Your Father’s Root Beer

Because: I don’t think Andy would realize it was alcoholic until it was too late.

Evil Spirit/Bob

Beer: AB InBev

Because: You turn around for two minutes, next thing you know your father’s possessed.

The Horne Brothers

Beer: Founders Backwoods Bastards

Because: Seeing as they’re Scotch drinkers, I think a wee-heavy would suit them both. And the name fits too.

James

Beer: Kane Brewing Company Vengeful Heart



Ed and Norma

James is probably straight edge but if he wasn’t he’d definitely crack a Vengeful Heart (because he’s emo AF).

Beers: While Ed gets a standard Michelob Ultra, Norma definitely pops a few ice cubes into her white wine and calls it a day.

Nadine

Beers: Other Half All Green Everything

Because: Strong lady, strong beer.

Bobby

Beers: Delirium Tremens

Because: He’s the kind of guy who asks you which beer will “fuck him up” the fastest.

Shelly

Log Lady

Shelly needs something low-ABV so that when Leo comes home her gun-hand stays steady.

Beers: Night Shift Morph

Because: It’s a no-brainer why this is Log Lady’s pick: The owls! You never know what you’re gonna get with the log lady, and it’s the same with Morph due to rotating hops.

Leland

Beers: Grimm Sugarmaker

Because: Leland needs a beer with a hefty ABV. He drinks to forget, seeing as he was possessed by a demon who made him kill his only daughter.

Dr. Jacoby

Beers: Sweetwater Hop Hash IPA

Because: He definitely self medicates and he DEFINITELY hides pot in his coconut.

Josie

Beers: Brewmeister Snake Venom

Because: Because Josie is a sneak AND a snake and I think this 67.5 percent beer is what ultimately killed her in that oh-so-dramatic sequence.

Donna

Beers: Spiked Seltzer

Because: If Donna lived in our world she’d be vegan, gluten free, all-organic, and loud about it.

Laura Palmer

Beers: Blood Beer (Michelada)

Because: A light beer topped with tomato juice, she drinks this only because the word ‘blood’ is in the name and she’s mentally unhinged.
