Of all the games in the series, Final Fantasy 7 is considered by many to be one of the most influential. Featuring numerous memorable characters, a touching and powerful storyline, and being the first game in the franchise to use 3D graphics, Final Fantasy 7 continues to influence many in the gaming community. Now, a local Maryland brewery has released beer themed after Final Fantasy 7.

Over the years, fans of Final Fantasy 7 have found numerous ways to appreciate and celebrate the game. Although, what's more impressive is how the game has managed to affect all different kinds of people. For instance, strongman Eddie Hall has a Final Fantasy 7 buster sword mounted on his wall, clearly indicating his love for the game. Though, Black Flag Brewery in Maryland has apparently gone a step further and created beer featuring art from Final Fantasy 7.

A Reddit user by the name of Ganymede0311 encountered Black Flag Brewery's Fifth Anniversary DIPA at a supermarket. The art featured on the can is nearly identical to the cover of Final Fantasy 7, with the iconic shot of Cloud Strife looking out at Midgar. Though, this isn't the only Black Flag Brewery beer can to feature art from Final Fantasy 7.

In addition to the Fifth Anniversary DIPA, Black Flag also released an IPA called Costa Del Sol, named after a location in Final Fantasy 7. It even has Cloud's buster sword sticking out of the sand. Not to mention that last year, the brewery released a sour beer named Mako Reactor, after the unforgettable first mission location in Final Fantasy 7. While these tributes to the game are impressive to see, there are some concerns.

These beers don't appear to be officially licensed by Square Enix, therefore the brewery could potentially face some legal issues over the designs of these beer cans. Although, these beers have existed since as early as last year and there haven't been any reports from Square Enix yet, but the brewery should be careful either way.

Admittedly, there have been numerous alcoholic beverages themed after video games released over the years. For example, back in 2015, Bethesda created an officially licensed Fallout 4 themed beer. In any case, it's amazing to see a brewery feature art from a beloved video game like Final Fantasy 7 and it will certainly incentivize other fans of the game to want to buy them, considering the association with the game. It will be interesting to see if Black Flag Brewery releases any more Final Fantasy 7 themed beers.
