Brewer Samuel Adams has released a limited-edition beer dedicated to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

The beer was to be released Friday at the brewer’s Boston taproom, report USA Today, CNBC, Boston.com and Food & Wine.

The beer is called “When There Are Nine.” It is a reference to Ginsburg’s answer when she was asked when there will be enough women on the Supreme Court.

The brewer was releasing the Belgian Brut IPA at an event to benefit the Pink Boots Society, which fosters advancement and education for women in the beer industry, according to the event page.

“We wanted to name it Brut Bader Ginsburg but our legal team, uh, dissented,” the page said.

The beer was brewed March 8, which was International Women’s Day. Only 20 kegs were brewed, which works out to about 2,500 beers. The beer will be served at the Boston location while supplies last.

A Supreme Court spokesperson told USA Today that Ginsburg declined to comment.
