Best Alien Invasion Movies for Hopocalypse Day
Every Hopocalypse Day has a theme. In year’s past a speeding hop comet was headed for earth, and the four-horseman arrived to tell us The End is Beer! This year we looked to the cosmos and decided to prepare for an alien invasion.
While we’ve been getting ready to welcome guests, and our new alien overlords, with double and triple IPAs, the Drake’s staff has been debating the best alien invasion movies. So, we decided to share some of our favorite movies with you, followed by staff commentary. They run the gamut, from funny to terrifying.
If we left your favorite off the list, continue the debate in our comment section below or let us know on social media at @DrakesBeer.
Lastly, we’ve just confirmed the list of breweries who will be serving beer in the Imperial IPA Festival portion of Hopocalypse Day festivities. Head to the ticket website or our Hopocalypse Day event page for more details.
