New Jersey brewery will welcome Pope Francis to America with an 'unholy amount of hops'

Cape May Brewing Company is so excited about Pope Francis' upcoming visit to the East Coast that it decided to honor him in the only way it knows how — with beer. The brewery recently announced its pale ale for the pontiff, and appropriately christened it YOPO (You Only Pope Once):

Blessed with an "unholy amount of hops," YOPO should be ready for you to enjoy by the time the pope arrives in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 22. He'll then head to New York for a few days, and close out the trip in Philadelphia. Good thing Cape May Brewing is only 80 miles from Philly — perhaps the popemobile can be convinced to take a detour.
