Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a judicial icon, and she’s so inspiring that people have created clothing lines, greeting cards, and coloring books in her image. Others have invited the Supreme diva to their wedding, dressed their children and pets up as RBG for Halloween, gotten themselves inked and manicured in her honor, and even purchased RBG action figures. In fact, the octogenarian justice has been the subject of not one, but two award-winning movies movies — “RBG,” the documentary based on her life, and “On the Basis of Sex,” the must-see biopic about the early days of her career — and at 86 years of age, she’s still going strong.
Americans are so obsessed with Justice Ginsburg’s pop-culture essence that her likeness has been turned into a very marketable product — after all, that’s what we do with everything we love, so why should a women’s rights hero be any different?

Raise your glass high and toast to the fact that later this week, Samuel Adams will be releasing a Belgian Brut IPA brewed on International Women’s Day and dedicating it to the Notorious RBG. Called “When There Are Nine,” the IPA was inspired by her perennial answer to the question, “When will there be enough women on the Supreme Court?” The Boston Globe has additional details on the RBG IPA:
“We wanted to name it Brut Bader Ginsburg,” an event description from Samuel Adams reads. “But our legal team, uh, dissented.” …
“When There Are Nine” will be available in the Samuel Adams taproom in Jamaica Plain on March 29, and the brewery is celebrating. A ticket to the affair includes one pint of the IPA, four Mei Mei dumplings, and a $5 donation to the Pink Boots Society. A dollar from each additional “When There Are Nine” sold will also be donated to the organization.
Click here to purchase a ticket to attend the release of “When There Are Nine.” We hear that only 20 kegs of the limited-edition brew were made, so if you want to become a part of beer history, you better attend the event.
Cheers to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg!
