INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Gen Con 2015 is a little over a week away and Sun King is brewing up this year’s official beer for the festivities.

The name of the beer is called “Drink on and Prosper,” which is described as a Blonde Ale with brown sugar and caramelized dark fruit flavors. The name of the beer was picked from this year’s online naming contest.
