It looks like Blockbuster is drowning its sorrows in its very own beer.
The last Blockbuster store in the U.S. — in Bend, Oregon — has partnered with 10 Barrel Brewing Co. to bring a new beer to nostalgic cinephiles. The beer, labeled a “black ale with nuances of red licorice” is called “The Last Blockbuster” and will be introduced to the public Sep. 21 during a party at the Bend store.
“The Last Blockbuster” will be available in the six 10 Barrel locations — including two in Bend — for a limited time. The other four are in Denver, San Diego, Boise, Idaho and Portland, Oregon.
10 Barrel promoted the new brew Monday on their Twitter:
The Blockbuster in Bend became the sole location after two Blockbusters in Alaska shuttered their doors in July. In addition to housing the last Blockbuster, Oregon is notorious for being the microbrewery capital of the U.S., making the marriage of the two rather appropriate.

PROJECT X This buzzy mockumentary put the high-school house party on steroids, essentially making a natural disaster film with drugs, alcohol and property destruction.
THE HANGOVER While this trilogy of comedies turned Bradley Cooper into a leading man, and primarily underscores the hazy day-after effects of imbibing, each film ends with amazing slideshows of the unseen debauchery that would send any moviegoer to the nearest bar.
Warner Bros
WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS This underrated comedy from Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher predated "The Hangover" with its reversed narrative device, waiting until the end of the film to show an incredible, totally hammered wedding ceremony featuring the movie stars and can't-miss support from Rob Corddry and Lake Bell.

COYOTE UGLY While this movie is lighter fare with a "Star is Born" twang, the front-end of the film is a pretty dazzling parade of leather chaps, push-ups bras and flaming shots.
Touchstone Pictures
BACHELOR PARTY This 1980's classic not only helped establish Tom Hanks as a major movie star, but also introduced the idea of the donkey show into pop culture.
