Iron Maiden Launching 'Trooper' Beer

By -

Rockers Iron Maiden have teamed up with a British brewery to release their own beer.


The heavy metal icons have partnered with Robinsons Brewery in Stockport to create Trooper, a deep golden ale which features a hint of lemon.


Frontman Bruce Dickinson tells Classic Rock magazine, "I'm a lifelong fan of traditional English ale; I thought I'd died and gone to heaven when we were asked to create our own beer. I have to say that I was very nervous - Robinsons are the only people I have had to audition for in 30 years."


"Their magic has been to create the alchemical wedding of flavor and texture that is Trooper. I love it."

The beverage is due to hit stores in May and brewery manager Oliver Robinson says, "Not only do Iron Maiden genuinely enjoy a good pint of cask ale, but so do many of their fans - and they have an important part to play in our customer base. This partnership works for both of us."




COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION 




Bottle: Filtered.




Trooper is a premium British beer inspired by Iron Maiden and handcrafted at Robinsons brewery. Being a real ale enthusiast, vocalist Bruce Dickinson has developed a beer which has true depth of character. Malt flavours and citric notes from a unique blend of Bobec, Goldings and Cascade hops dominate this deep golden ale with a subtle hint of lemon.

I have compiled some of the ways I have come across to write your own music. Please keep in mind that these are only a few of many different ways to come up with your own material, and these are great ways to learn. But you get much more satisfaction if you start from scratch. Enjoy, and I hope this helps.   Scaffolding Stuck? Here’s an old trick to get you going. What a good song offers is structure, repetition, form and balance. Not always easy to create, but easy to borrow. You can build on the form of another song, without sounding at all like that song. Much as a scaffold is used to frame a skyscraper — the scaffold may look familiar, but once removed yields a unique b

Who Were The Highest Rockers Of Rock N Roll? Back when sex and drugs were still a part of rock-n-roll, these legends of rock wrote the book, ripped out the pages and rolled them into a joint.

The mere mortals of the world could live vicariously through these rock gods. Here are 20 of the most drugged-out musicians of the rock and roll era: 1.

Despite a life lived as the poster child for rock-n-roll excess, he never overdosed, for which he a
