In case you didn't know Iron Maiden were successful beer makers, the rock legends have just created their second brew 'Hallowed'.
Made by Belgium's Robinsons Brewery, whom the band had worked with previously on their first ale 'The Trooper', 'Hallowed's release is accompanied by a 10 minute video going behind the scenes of their newest batch. Alongside Head Brewer Martyn Weeks and Technical Brewer Alistair Rushton frontman Bruce Dickinson, details the yeasts being used and tries a few samples himself.
Dickinson then takes us back to Belgium six months later during Iron Maiden’s tour in support of their newest album The Book Of Souls, where the frontman pours a glass of the new brew and describes what he thinks of it, in detail.
Dickinson has said: “What makes this brew pretty special is that we’re adopting a Belgian yeast for the first time. I’m a big fan of Belgian beers, so I jumped at the chance to brew my own. While I get very excited about experimenting with new formulas and ingredients, the thing about Belgian beer is that it’s as much a way of life as it is a drink. We’ve tried to bottle that philosophy in 'Hallowed' – albeit with a British twist.”
You can now purchase Hallowed via the Robinsons Brewery website right here!
