Beers and Brewhahas: Brandon Marshall vs. Josh McDaniels

Dispute: Brandon Marshall vs. Josh McDaniels Beer: Great Divide Brewing Company's Hercules Double IPA

When it comes to dick-swinging contests, everything's got to be big, and it doesn't get much larger than Great Divide's Hercules Double IPA. From its name (the Greek God of enormous manly muscles) to its 10 percent alcohol content (about three times the average Coors Light if you've got your measuring stick out, fellas) this beer is massive enough to handle two of the biggest egos in Denver: whiny Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall and his arrogant new coach, Josh McDaniels. Oh, and it only comes on tap or in an extra-large, 22-ounce bomber bottle. Try that on for size.
