Jerry Lawler has beer named after himself, but won't try it

Jerry "The King" Lawler now has a beer named in his honor.

Meddlesome Brewing Company, located in Lawler's hometown of Memphis, has released a new beer called Jerry "The King" Lager.

"A while back I was contacted by someone from the brewery who explained to me they make beers with names that are familiar with Memphis," Lawler told Kevin Cerrito of the Memphis Flyer. "One was 201 Hoplar and they had the idea to do a Jerry 'The King' Lager. I thought it sounded fun, so I gave them the go ahead to use my name."

The 68-year-old Lawler has no intention of trying the beer, though.

"I've never tasted beer, wine, or whiskey in my life and I'm not going to start just because one's named after me," he said.
