‘You Only Pope Once:’ US brewer makes Francis-inspired beer

CAPE MAY, New Jersey — A New Jersey brewery is releasing a limited edition beer to commemorate Pope Francis’ U.S. visit next month.

Cape May Brewing Co. co-owner Ryan Krill says his company is brewing 500 gallons (1,890 liters) of YOPO, or “You Only Pope Once.” The pope-inspired beer is a pale ale with 5.5 percent alcohol content and will only be available on draft.

The beer will be available in Philadelphia and New Jersey beginning Sept. 21.
