SAN FRANCISCO (KTVU) - San Francisco's Barebottle Brewing Company is trolling Cleveland Cavaliers megastar LeBron James with its latest brew.
Saturday the company announced it's new IPA called "LeBron Tears," following the Warriors sweeping the Cavs in the NBA Finals.
On Instagram, the brewery indirectly referenced J.R. Smith's mishap in Game 1, where he snagged a rebound with seconds left in a tie game and decided to dribble the ball out of the lane towards mid-court as time expired, forcing overtime. James' reaction to the play went viral. And, according to the brewery, "the tears from Sir James' Game 1 loss" were distilled "into a hazy IPA.
"Little known fact: KD, Steph, and Klay take opposing teams' hopes and dreams, and turn them into soul crushing 3-pointers. We took the tears from Sir James' Game 1 loss and distilled them into a hazy IPA, just for you. We also decided that Tears pair well with Mosaic hops. Sad!"
