Rush is being immortalized in a new beer, and the announcement came via a funny video featuring Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson.

In the clip below, we see Lee and Lifeson in a brewery, with Lee wearing a button that says "Beer Drinker" and Lifeson wearing a button that says "Beer Scientist." There is witty banter galore that culminates with Lifeson asking Lee, "What's vat?" while pointing to a vat in the brewery.

The beer is called Rush Canadian Golden Ale and is made by the Toronto-based Henderson Brewing Company. However, there's one catch: The Rush beer is not available outside of Canada, so a trip to the Great White North might be in order or you might have to pay top-dollar for some cans on eBay.
