The Houston Astros' sign-stealing scandal has inspired the creation of a new craft beer.
Departed Soles Brewing Company in New Jersey announced Sunday that it will be releasing a "Trash Can Banger" IPA - a nod to the system the Astros used to alert hitters to what type of pitch was coming.
The beer is priced at $17 for a four-pack and was brewed with "2017 grams per barrel of Galaxy and Strata Hops," referencing the year the scandal occurred.
The "Trash Can Banger" has apparently elicited some angry responses from fans, but the brewery says the beer wasn't meant to be a shot at the Astros.
