Arcade Fire is een Canadese indierockband uit Montreal. De groep is gevormd rond het echtpaar Win Butler en Régine Chassagne en bestaat daarnaast uit Richard Reed Parry, William Butler, Tim Kingsbury en Jeremy Gara. De band was een initiatief van Win Butler, maar kwam pas van de grond toen hij Chassagne ontmoette. In 2003 ontstond Arcade Fire ep, die een jaar later gevolgd werd door een platencontract bij Merge Records en het debuutalbum Funeral, dat bijna unaniem positieve kritieken kreeg.[1] Na een wereldwijde toer begon het werk aan het tweede album Neon Bible, dat in 2007 verscheen. Het album behaalde de tweede plaats in de Engelse en Amerikaanse hitlijst. Sinds de uitgave van de dvd Miroir Noir in eind 2008 werkte de band aan het derde album The Suburbs, dat in augustus 2010 werd uitgebracht. Het vierde album van de band, Reflektor, werd uitgebracht eind 2013. Op 28 juli 2017 bracht Arcade Fire haar vijfde album getiteld Everything now uit. De muziek van Arcade Fire is een combinatie van postpunk en barokpop, vaak aangevuld met diverse orkestratie. Ze staan bekend om hun hevige liveshows en het groot aantal instrumenten dat ze gebruiken. Naast de gebruikelijke gitaar, basgitaar en drums, zijn de piano, viool, cello, melodica, orgel en harp ook vaak aanwezig. (https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcade_Fire)
Arcade Fire kondigt nieuw album ‘WE’ aan by WIL WANDER on 20 MAART 2022... Arcade Fire brengt begin mei hun nieuwe studioalbum ‘WE’ uit. De zeven songs op ‘WE’ zijn opgesplitst in twee kanten: het donkere ‘I’ en het verlichte ‘WE’. ‘WE’ is het zesde studioalbum van de Canadese indierockband. Arcade Fire-echtpaar Win Butler en Régine Chassagne produceerde het album samen met producer Nigel Godrich. Het veertig minuten durende ‘WE’ is volgens Win het compacte resultaat van hun langste ononderbroken schrijfperiode ooit. (https://www.maxazine.nl/2022/03/20/arcade-fire-kondigt-nieuw-album-we-aan/)
Will Butler stapt op uit band Arcade Fire Will Butler is uit de band Arcade Fire gestapt. Dat maakte hij zelf gistervond via Twitter bekend. Hij heeft volgens eigen zeggen al aan het eind van vorig jaar de band verlaten. Showredactie 20-03-22, 11:26 ‘Hoi vrienden, ik heb Arcade Fire verlaten’, schrijft de muzikant. ‘Ik ben weggegaan nadat het nieuwe album af was.’ Er was volgens Butler geen acute reden om op te stappen. Wel zegt hij veranderd te zijn, en dat geldt volgens hem ook voor de band. In een tweede tweet onthulde de artiest dat hij is begonnen aan een nieuw solo-album, dat de opvolger moet worden van Generations uit 2020. Ook had de Amerikaanse multi-instrumentalist nog een bedankje voor de fans, vrienden en crewleden van Arcade Fire in petto. Hij besloot met de mededeling dat hij nog steeds goede vrienden is met de andere bandleden. Butler is overigens nog wel te horen op het nieuwe album WE. De plaat komt begin mei uit. De eerste single van het album, The Lightning I, II, is donderdag al uitgekomen. (https://www.ad.nl/show/will-butler-stapt-op-uit-band-arcade-fire~a9ec180e/)
Maar goed dit is geen muziekblog, maar een bierblog dus laten we het eens hebben over Brewdog die een arcadebier uit hebben:
Arcade Made Coin Operated Beer 8% Double Dry Hopped DIPA
Het bier is troebel blond en geurt naar tropisch fruit. Het smaakt lekker bitter, maar de afdronk gaat mild weg. Het bier drinkt makkelijk door. Dat is bedrieglijk. Zo lijkt het ook net zo'n arcadehal waar al die machines stiekem veel (munt)geld innemen... Wat vinden anderen hiervan?

Okee, weer wat nieuws geleerd: er zijn nieuwe hopsoorten Strata en Zappa!?
Wat weten we over de nieuwe hopsoorten Strata en Zappa?
Strata™, formerly known as X-331, is Indie Hop’s first hop variety to be released out of the Oregon State Aroma Hop Breeding Program in Corvallis, Oregon. Born in 2009, Strata is the progeny of an open-pollinated Perle located in an Oregon State experimental field at Corvallis, Oregon. From the get-go, this hop was out to impress. Between its strong disease resistance, vigorous growing habit, and complex layers of aroma, X-331 rose to the top of an impressive group of competitors. Brewing characteristics of Strata: Strawberry, Passion fruit, Grapefruit, Bubble Gum, Sage, Dank SEE WHAT BREWERS ARE SAYING ABOUT OUR STRATA™ HOPS Awesome - Weston S. 5/16/20 "I just brewed a 100% Strata NEIPA from the 2019 crop from YVH, this is a phenomenal hop. Very very dank flavor and aroma. Great strawberry fruitiness and citrusy undertones as well. This may be my new favorite hop." EXAMPLES OF BEERS BREWED WITH STRATA™ HOPS Brewers at Fremont use Citra, Mosaic, and Strata together to achieve a naturally unfiltered beer. Sky Kraken - Fremont Brewing Brewers at New Belgium use Strata, Amarillo, and HBC 522 together to achieve a hop forward and bold beer. Voodoo Ranger American Haze - New Belgium Brewers at Sierra Nevada use Chinook, Azacca, Amarillo, Idaho 7, and Strata together to achieve something incredibly juicy. Fantastic Haze Imperial IPA - Sierra Nevada Sku: HOPS-Strata-2021-1 (https://yakimavalleyhops.com/products/strata-hop-pellets?_pos=1&_sid=4dbae4a22&_ss=r&variant=34609115988101)
Zappa™ hops are grown exclusively by CLS Farms in the Yakima Valley, but it is a 100% neomexicanus aroma hop that came from the mountains of New Mexico. Evolving independently, Zappa™, has developed its own rebellious aroma and unique flavor characteristics. Aroma: Passionfruit, mint, spice, tropical fruits, and fruity pebbles. Genetic origins: ZappaTM is a native, North American, Humulus lupulus var. neomexicanus, recovered from the wild in New Mexico. Alpha Range: 4-8% Cohumulone: 40-45% Total Oils: 8-1.2% Sku: HOPS-Zappa-2020-1 (https://yakimavalleyhops.com/products/zappa-hop-pellets)
Zappa was not painstakingly created by growers like every other hop on this list. It was instead found as a wild hop in the mountains of New Mexico. Then, to add to the allure, it was named after legendary musician Frank Zappa. Zappa’s intense flavors hit you hard too. Intense mango, papaya, pineapple, orange, grapefruit, melon, and guava flavors are balanced out with hints of white pepper and mint. This in-your-face hop is one of the most unique hops on the market today. (https://beermaverick.com/ten-hops-to-watch-out-for-in-2021/)
With a flavor and aroma similar to Galaxy and Mosaic, Strata is going to take a huge leap forward in 2021. Galaxy hops are notoriously expensive, and every craft brewer wants them because of… well… Hazies. Regardless of what you think of the not-so-clear style of IPA, it isn’t going away, which means brewers will have to find a replacement to Galaxy pronto. Add to the fact that Strata also has some of the qualities that has made Mosaic hops a household name, you’ve got yourself a winner. In my opinion, the only way this hop doesn’t have a breakout year is if supply doesn’t keep up. There is no reason a dual-purpose hop that has qualities similar to Galaxy and Mosaic can’t make it.

The Strata hop is the result of an open pollinated Perle in Corvallis, Oregon in 2009. While it was born in 2009, it wasn't officially released until 2018. Strata was Indie Hops’ first hop variety to be released out of their breeding program in cooperation with Oregon State University.... Strata is a dual-purpose hop that can be used in all hop additions throughout the brewing process. ... The Strata hop has many layers of different fruit flavor, dried and fresh, anchored with a dried chili-cannabis-funk. Late hot side additions using Strata bring out layers of rounded-tropical plus bright-fresh fruit flavors; dry hopping yields more grapefruit and cannabis. Other descriptors include passion fruit, strawberry and dank. ... These are the common ranges that we've seen with Strata hops over the years. Each year's crop can yield hops that have slightly different qualities, so these number ranges are based on history. ....Alpha Acid % (AA) Alpha acids are the main source of bitterness in beer.

Some popular beer styles that make use of the Strata hop include IPA, Pale Ale, Stout, Sours, Saison, Pale Ale & Lager. Strata is also sometimes featured as a single hop in beers to highlight its unique flavors and aromas. Some popular examples of commercial beers that use 100% Strata hops in their recipes are Lowercase Brewing Strata IPA & Worthy Strata IPA. (https://beermaverick.com/hop/strata/)
Oregon State University’s history of hop breeding stretches all the way back to 1893. Dr. Haunold, who many consider the grandfather of US hop breeding, worked at OSU. But the last twenty years have seen the breeding program flag; finding only limited success, while slowly running out of public and private funding. In 2010 Indie Hops, owned by Roger Worthington and Jim Solberg, partnered with the university, donating a million dollars to reinvigorate the breeding program, with a new focus toward creating novel aroma varieties. Strata, a brand spanking new variety just released this year (2018), is the program’s first hop to go commercial. Strata was originally bred in 2009, even before Indie Hops came on board. Shaun Townsend, both the program’s director and assistant professor, thought a particular open-pollinated Perle hop plant might have some potential and the donation from Indie Hops allowed him to set up a field nursery of its seedlings.
The selection of the most promising genotype took place in 2011. It was number 9-1-331, and given the designator X331 during the seven-year testing and evaluation process. In 2015, Strata was planted on a 9-acre test plot. The 2016 yield of 2000 lbs/acre (high for a test plot) was more than anyone had hoped for. The first Strata hops were shipped to a few breweries for evaluation. Townsend says in the above-referenced article that Strata “appears in packaged beers brewed by Fort George, Base Camp, Sierra Nevada, and Odell, to name only a few.” But, even before other brewing companies got a chance to play with Strata, it was showing itself to be a hop with promise. In 2013, Worthy Brewing, Worthington’s own company, brewed a pilot batch with Strata and entered it in Basecamp Brewing Protohop Brewfest in Portland. It won best of show. In 2017, Worthy brewing entered their Strata IPA in a state competition. Surprisingly, the beer got first. Somehow Strata was able to achieve the kind of balance usually only found by blending hop varieties. Strata is well on its way to becoming the new darling of the craft brewing community. This early popularity may make it hard for the homebrewer to find, but that will undoubtedly change as planting and production continue to ramp up in the face of its burgeoning popularity..... The Strata hop variety is the first patented variety from Indie Hops, which means that plants and rhizomes are not available for home propagation. (https://learn.kegerator.com/strata-hops/)
Okee dit plantje is gepatenteerd? Zou dat bier dat dan ook zijn??
