I would imagine (just speculation) that there would be some advertising issues with that. Would be cool if they changed the name/design just enough to get away with it, yet still make it clear enough for the masses to catch it.
Closest thing I can think of would maybe be Duff in one of the Simpson's video games? I think I remember one of the games having Homer collect Duff bottle caps as an objective
Not that I'm aware of, but here's a consolation prize from Tallgrass Brewing... More info: http://tallgrassbeer.com/beers/8-bit-pale-ale/ http://tallgrassbeer.com/beers/16-bit/
Many PC gamers will remember a company called Blizzard North. Hell, if you call yourself a PC gamer and don't know who Blizzard North is, then shame on you. They created one of best selling PC game series of all time, Diablo. After leaving Blizzard, the makers of Diablo created a game called Hellgate: London. It was a phenomenal flop, but it had a concept that was ahead of its time. A concept that turned people into billionaires. They had what was originally supposed to be dynamic advertising, which is now what some of the biggest companies do, aka Google, Facebook, etc. (Note, I'm not sure if dynamic advertising is the actual term. The meaning is basically targeting advertising based on the information they have on you). Hellgate: London had posters on the wall, everywhere, that were supposed to be paid advertisements, by the likes of various beers, soft-drinks, etc, and targeting the typical gamer. Unfortunately, they had a number of things working against them. They didn't have the user data (sex, age, interests, etc) to support targeted advertising. They had a game, which being violent meant some companies would not associate, and finally, the product (the game itself) sucked enough that it simply lacked the audience for big name companies to consider it. Ultimately, the advertising concept failed, and the game was left with "Drink Dr. Pep", and "Mr. SortaClean" posters. I can only imagine, had the game been as popular as one like Diablo, the concept may have worked. And we would see many mature rated games with beer advertisements targeting the 20-40 age group.
While there is no mention of specific craft breweries, in Witcher III you can find a variety of "ales" with styles including faro, kriek, lagers, and stouts.
