After years of collaborating with British brewery Robinson’s , the band Iron Maiden are expanding their repertoire of beery accompaniments to their music with an additional collaboration. In order to meet the taste of German fans and conquer a new market, the band is now also working together with the brewery CREW Republic.
A phone call was to change the lives of Mario and Timm forever: After the management of Iron Maiden contacted the brewery by telephone and had clarified the first basic conditions, legendary musician Bruce Dickinson himself was on the mat. The lead singer of the metal band accompanied the brewers in the development process and insisted on being there live during bottling. Inspired by the band’s melodic sounds and heavy lyrics, CREW Republic created a beer that, in Bruce Dickinson’s words, is dangerously drinkable and edgy at the same time.
The brew brings a pleasant 5.0% alcohol content into the glass and presents itself in honey gold with a firm, ivory-colored head of foam in the same. A hoppy nose introduces the pleasure, the initial sip follows with a fresh bouquet. Delicate citrus notes meet intense hops and a crisp bitterness on the palate. Gentle malt underscores the play of aromas, but remains discreetly in the background in this so-called progressive lager.
