Is this the real life? Yes, and apparently fantasies do come true: No longer need you merely sing along to "Bohemian Rhapsody." You can literally drink it, too.
Enter Queen Bohemian Lager. The remaining members of Queen have been rolling out adult beverages in conjunction with their 40th anniversary — previously, it was "Killer Queen" vodka — and this Czech-brewed beer is their latest. Queen Bohemian is described by the band's press release as being a "golden, hoppy" beer sourced from Plzen, a town that was originally part of the Bohemian Kingdom (get it?). Fittingly, the bottle's design features a crest that was designed by original frontman Freddie Mercury when he was an art student in London.
