Dit weekend is het weer Pinkpop en dit jaar is treedt Paul McCartney op. Nu is idt geen festivalblog, maar een bierblog, dus vandaag aandacht voor bands met bier.
Paul McCartney brouwt zelf ook!
Sir Paul McCartney has joined a growing band of rock and roll stars turning their attentions to beer brewing. McCartney has created an ale called Old Stinkhorn (named after a phallic-shaped mushroom that grows on his estate) using hops that grow on his land in East Sussex. It's not on sale, sadly - he likes to give the ale to friends and family as gifts.
These days, there are as many beers being brewed by rock and roll legends as there are musical genres – lagers, ales, wheat beers, hoppy brews, stronger beers for sipping slowly. And the musicians who have joined the fun might surprise you (www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/beer/rock-and-roll-stars-who-have-created-their-own-beer/) (www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/6915712/Sir-Paul-McCartney-brews-beer-from-his-estate.html) (http://womc.cbslocal.com/2016/02/10/paul-mccartney-did-you-know-he-makes-his-own-brew/).

Ja, Paul Mccartney brouwt bier!?
Wie allemaal nog meer?
Er zijn tal van bands die bier brouwen (zie o.a. de lijst hier):
Queen Bohemian Lager, 4.7%
Queen marked the 40th anniversary of the hit Bohemian Rhapsody by releasing a beer. The band’s late, great singer Freddie Mercury was well known for sipping a glass of the suds while on stage, and now people can toast his memory with an authentic Czech lager (of course, brewed in Bohemia) (www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/beer/rock-and-roll-stars-who-have-created-their-own-beer/).

Gladness, 4.2%
The band Madness were said to have been inspired to make their own beer while drinking in the pub where they performed their first gigs in north London, the Dublin Castle. Brewed by one of London’s new wave of breweries Portobello, it’s a crisp, easy drinking lager, which tastes like liquid bread with refreshing citrus overtones from the hops (www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/beer/rock-and-roll-stars-who-have-created-their-own-beer/) (www.squaremeal.co.uk/news/top-of-the-hops-pop-stars-who-brew-beers).

Bastards Lager 4,7%
Motorhead
Motorhead‘s Bastards Lager may be the loudest beer ever bottled, but it apparently is not the best. The pale lager is brewed in Sweden and has a fairly low ABV of 4.7 percent, just 0.3 away from matching its Overall score on RateBeer (http://loudwire.com/signature-rock-metal-beers-rankings/) (www.americanbadassbeer.com/). For all beer drinkers and hell raisers, fans of loud and fast rock and roll, no matter if you have no class or if you are a damage case, this mean machine lager is fuel for any head banging opportunity.
Type of beverage: Beer, Lager
Origin: Sweden

Trooper, 4.8%
Heavy metal rockers Iron Maiden, who have sold more than 90 million albums, put their name to a beer which proved to be Stockport brewer Robinsons greatest hit. The Trooper, which pays homage to one of the band’s best loved live stage songs, is powered by three powerful hops, Bobek, Goldings, and Cascade, which makes the golden beer sing with citrus flavours. The band’s front man Bruce Dickinson played a major part in developing the beer, even taking time out of rehearsals to help brew it. Available from ironmaidenbeer.com and in pubs and supermarkets nationally (www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/beer/rock-and-roll-stars-who-have-created-their-own-beer/) (http://loudwire.com/signature-rock-metal-beers-rankings/).

Bruce Dickinson, lead singer of Iron Maiden, is a lover of all things British: witness his on-stage brandishing of the Union Flag and his obsession with military history. That patriotic urge extends, it appears, to ale. ‘I’m a lifelong fan of traditional English ale,’ he said when Trooper was launched in March this year, with the help of Stockport brewery Robinsons. ‘I thought I’d died and gone to heaven when we were asked to create our own beer.’ Given that, it’s no surprise that Trooper, named after the band’s 1983 tune about the Charge of the Light Brigade, is a traditional drop: Dickinson took a real interest in its creation, visiting the brewery on a number of occasions and working with head brewer Martyn Weeks to formulate the recipe. ‘As a fan of traditional English cask beer, I thought that this could actually be something really exciting… we could develop a proper, real, long-term beer,’ explains Dickinson. A proper beer it certainly is, but its traditional flavour – all nutty malt and prickly English hops – means it’s more likely to appeal to fans of classic brown bitter than the new craft-beer crowd (www.squaremeal.co.uk/news/top-of-the-hops-pop-stars-who-brew-beers) (www.squaremeal.co.uk/news/top-of-the-hops-pop-stars-who-brew-beers). Iron Maiden‘s ‘Trooper’ ale has worked wonders for the Robinsons British brewery. Developed by Robinsons and Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson, the ale has become the brewery’s most in-demand beer in their history.
In a tantalizing description from the brewery, “‘Trooper‘ is a Premium British Beer inspired by Iron Maiden and handcrafted at Robinsons brewery. 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.” Run to the pub!

AC/DC premium lager
I'm a Light Lager brewed in France.
Category: Imported
Brewer: Brasserie Licorne Sas
Alcohol Content (ABV): 5.0%
AC-DC, the infamous Hardrock Legends from down under, have been delivering true rock for the last 40 years. Now they give their name to a true, pint-sized Australian taste as well. AC-DC is 500mL of true German Premium Lager with mouth-watering 5.0%alc. This lager fires up your tongue like TNT, comes with a great beer-loving taste and is brewed in accordance with the Rock`n Roll manifesto of 1973 and the German purity law of 1516 (www.thebeerstore.ca/beers/ac-dc-premium-lager). Australians love their beer, and what better band to crack open a beer to than AC/DC? The Australian rock legends have slapped their logo on a German Premium Lager called ‘Australian Hardrock.’
The lovely lager may not come in a super-sized can like Fosters, but you can purchase a mini keg of the stuff! AC/DC’s ‘Australian Hardrock’ promises to “fire up your tongue like TNT’ and is brewed within the mandate of the German purity law of 1516 (http://loudwire.com/ac-dc-bands-with-signature-beers/). "AC/DC Premium Bier" sind 568 ml echtes deutsches Premium-Pils mit vollmundigen 4,8% Vol. Alkohol. Das 5-Liter-Fass ist der Roadie unter den Bieren für die rockige Runde mit Freunden (http://acdc-beverage.com/Produkt/acdc-beer) (http://acdc-beverage.com/Produkt/acdc-beer-old). For those about to rock… perhaps choose a different beer? AC/DC’s own pale lager comes in a giant can, so if you’re looking for Fosters-like quantity, bottoms up! However, if taste is your priority, RateBeer suggests looking elsewhere (http://loudwire.com/signature-rock-metal-beers-rankings/).

Sepultura Weizen 5%
Our favorite Brazilian thrashers Sepultura released their own beer packaged in an awesome faux amplifier. However, according to RateBeer, Sepultura Weizen succeeds in style, but not necessarily in taste (http://loudwire.com/signature-rock-metal-beers-rankings/) (www.americanbadassbeer.com/).

BADASS (YES ITS ALL CAPS) 4,2%
"It's born out of the bushels of American barley and hops harvested straight from the heartland. It's crafted with care in a place where factories mark one horizon and wild forests mark the next. This beer's built with American Pride."
"The Backstory –
Yes, this is Kid Rock's beer. This beer hasn't just been built for this American badass, it has been built alongside this rock 'n' roll son of Detroit. This is Kid Rock's beer, and it casts the same kind of net that his music does: far, wide and all-out original."
As a Michigan native and a Detroit transplant I respect (some) of what KidRock does for Michigan and the community in Detroit and abroad (www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/badass-is-back-please-no.157982/). Badass American Lager - Michigan Brewing Company

Badass American Lager
Kid Rock
Kid Rock is responsible for this ‘Badass’ beer, brewed in the musician’s home state of Michigan. Unfortunately, Badass American Lager has received an extremely low score on RateBeer.com (http://loudwire.com/signature-rock-metal-beers-rankings/) (www.americanbadassbeer.com/).

Badass Redneck Lager 4,2%
Brewed by Brew Detroit
Style: Pale Lager
Detroit, Michigan USA
COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Launched by Kid Rock.
Originally brewed at Michigan Brewing Company and since 2012 in Brew Detroit.
It’s born out of of bushels of American barley and hops harvested straight from the heartland. It’s crafted with care in place where Detroit’s factories mark one horizon and wild forests mark the next. This beer’s built with Michigan pride. Pry one open and you’ll know: there’s trouble brewing. This is pure American Badass. americanbadassbeer.com (www.ratebeer.com/beer/badass-redneck-lager/107633/) It's no gimmick... it's some pretty damn good beer. A lighter beer with a set of balls! I don't know if the KID ROCK is a fisherman... but I think this beer was made for the bass fishing crowd. It may be a little too redneck for the trout boys with their fruity flavored brews. This has the American Outlaw flavor and hillbilly deluxe styling that says your old school and damn proud of it! (www.thefreshwaterfly.com/2010/08/mr-rocks-badass-american-lager.html)

Faithfull Ale 7%
Pearl Jam‘s signature fruit beer, ‘Faithfull Ale,’ comes straight from the famous Dogfish Head Brewery in Delaware. The band worked with Dogfish Head to create the beer, launching it to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Pearl Jam’s seminal album, ‘Ten.’

Build a Rocket Boys!, 4%
Lancashire favourites Elbow produced a beer to coincide with their fifth album. Build a Rocket Boys! was launched in 2011 in collaboration with another northern favourite, Robinsons Brewery. Last year, after selling more than 750,000 pints and raising more than £40,000 for Oxfam, the band decided it was going to be last orders for the easy drinking, malty beer. So anyone finding the beer still on sale in an off-licence could be looking at a collector’s item (www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/beer/rock-and-roll-stars-who-have-created-their-own-beer/) (www.squaremeal.co.uk/news/top-of-the-hops-pop-stars-who-brew-beers).

Remedy 5,9%
Hip-hop artists are generally thought to be more interested in blingy Champagne and brandy than beer, but not Professor Green .... He was very involved in the production of his beer, Remedy, says Signature Brew’s McGregor. ‘We took him up to Titanic Brewery in Staffordshire, where the beer was initially brewed,’ he says. ‘We showed him round and explained the process. He had a very good idea of what he wanted.’ Green enjoyed the American-style pale ales he was offered but wanted to brew something made entirely with English ingredients. He was pleased with the outcome. ‘I suppose a smart person would pick a beer that would sell very well, but with my music I’m quite selfish, I make music that I like,’ he says. ‘I don’t go in to the studio and go “what can I make that will sell x amount of copies?” I just went with what my taste requirements… required!’ The beer, now available in Morrisons, has been served at a number of Professor Green’s gigs – but it deserves to be drunk more widely. Clean and satisfyingly bitter, it’s the sort of golden, hoppy ale that couldn’t be more popular at the moment (www.squaremeal.co.uk/news/top-of-the-hops-pop-stars-who-brew-beers).

Fuzzy, 8.5%
Welsh rockers Super Furry Animals turned to craft brewers Celt Experience when they wanted to produce their own beer for a festival in Caerphilly.
The beer which is named after their 1996 debut, Fuzzy Logic, is a funky combination of styles. A Welsh ale which has been fermented with a saison yeast, it has a pronounced citrus aroma and a hint of pleasant sourness (www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/beer/rock-and-roll-stars-who-have-created-their-own-beer/).

Believe, 4.8%
Folk singer Frank Turner says he writes his songs to be sung in bars. Well, he can now drink his own bottled beer while crooning. His brew Believe is an English twist on a Belgian wheat beer, with orange citrus flavours and swathes of spice. Brewed by Hackney hipsters Signature Brew, the beer is one of several music-inspired collaborations the company produces (www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/beer/rock-and-roll-stars-who-have-created-their-own-beer/) (www.squaremeal.co.uk/news/top-of-the-hops-pop-stars-who-brew-beers).

The General, 3.9%
The General is another beer from Signature Brew, which was created after rock band The Rifles visited the brewery. Signature Brew director Sam McGregor said: “The band got really involved in the process, which is represented in the quality of the beer and the brilliant label artwork they produced.” The crisp, wheat beer was created as antidote to the thousands of dull insipid lagers the band members had drunk while touring the country (www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/beer/rock-and-roll-stars-who-have-created-their-own-beer/).

Dogfish Head American Beauty, 10.7%
Next time you're listening to one of the Grateful Dead’s greatest albums, 1970s American Beauty, try drinking the beer named after it. Dogfish Head’s American Beauty is a fulsome imperial pale ale, which was brewed using the hippies' favourite breakfast cereal, granola. The amber-coloured beer stars swirling flavours of honey, oats and fruit (www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/beer/rock-and-roll-stars-who-have-created-their-own-beer/).

GWAR Beer 5%
GWAR
Your intergalactic lords and masters GWAR originally called their signature beer ‘Impaled Ale,’ but unfortunately, the brand was already taken. However, despite the name change, the late Oderus Urungus was proud to create a drink that causes humans to become mindlessly violent (http://loudwire.com/signature-rock-metal-beers-rankings/)

Razor Hoof 8,2%
Three Floyds Razor Hoof
Brewed by Three Floyds Brewing Company
Style: Saison
Munster, Indiana USA
COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brewed with our friends in the epic band High On Fire. This dry hopped saison is worthy of Razor Hoof. Corpse wolf now raised (www.ratebeer.com/beer/three-floyds-razor-hoof/226278/)
Three Floyds is one of America’s best breweries, but Razor Hoof has garnered a rare lukewarm response from critics. Razor Hoof is a collaboration with High on Fire, leading to a saison ale with a fairly high ABV of 8.2 percent (http://loudwire.com/signature-rock-metal-beers-rankings/) (www.3floyds.com/beer/razorhoof/?age_verification=8c63b00e1e).

Black Tongue 8,3%
Mastodon were one of the first. The band released a lager as part of Sonisphere Festival promotions in the summer of 2009, which had a very limited run (www.metalinjection.net/bands-and-booze/mastodon-launching-another-beer-black-tongue-double-black-ipa).
Mastodon have released two brands of beer, one of which is Black Tongue, a black IPA. The drink’s overall score on RateBeer is very good, but its low style points dragged the average of Black Tongue down tremendously (http://loudwire.com/signature-rock-metal-beers-rankings/). Black Tongue is a Double Black IPA, brewed in collaboration with metal legends - Mastodon.
Rumbling smoky notes are offset by the elixir of misbehaving punchy hops. Citra and Magnum hops to the front, with Carafa Special 3 Malt and Pale on the baseline, this is our biggest and most powerful creation to date. The band wanted to create a 'palate crusher' and that's certainly what has been delivered. A beer for enjoying slowly, letting the bombardment of flavour and intensity hit your tongue and explode with every sip (www.signaturebrew.co.uk/products/black-tongue) (www.ratebeer.com/beer/signature-brew-black-tongue/246334/).

Kluskap O’ Kom
To celebrate the band’s 30th anniversary, Voivod launched their very own bottle of suds. The inspiration behind Voivod’s Kluskap O’ Kom Spice/Herb/Vegetable Lager came from the band’s 2013 album, ‘Target Earth.’ (http://loudwire.com/signature-rock-metal-beers-rankings/).

Lips of Faith 9,5%
Clutch is the perfect band to complement with a beer. The band’s Lips of Faith brew is an American Strong Ale with a 9 percent ABV. Lips of Faith has been a huge hit, showcasing pronounced hints of dark chocolate, coffee and black malts that bridge the sourness of its dark wood ale (http://loudwire.com/signature-rock-metal-beers-rankings/).

American Wild Ale | 9.50% ABV
This pleasing, two-part, potion was brewed with chocolate and black malts for a rich and roasty overtone, then fused with a dry, substratum of sour for a bold and audacious flavor. Black as night, this beer is blended at 80% stout, 20% dark sour wood beer for a collaboration that begins with a sour edge and finishes with a big, dark malt character, lingering, sweet on your palate (www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/192/71774/).

Iron Swan Ale
The Sword
Nothing quenches your thirst like a cold beer when you’re being impaled by the Sword. The band’s Iron Swan English Pale Ale is actually made in Texas, but is filled with beautiful English hops and perhaps represents Texas with the brew’s mild spiciness.
(http://loudwire.com/signature-rock-metal-beers-rankings/). Iron Swan Ale, the newest canned offering from Real Ale Brewing Co., pays tribute to the song that served as the brewery’s introduction to the rock band, THE SWORD.
Based on an English-style Pale Ale, the Iron Swan pours a deep copper color and has an enticing intro of fruit and caramel with subtle hints of earth and spice. This medium bodied ale showcases the fruitiness of the house ale strain, along with the rich toffee flavors of English crystal malt. Added complexity is provided by generous amounts of English hops. Iron Swan finishes slightly dry with a mild spiciness that beckons another can (http://beerpulse.com/2013/07/real-ale-brewing-releases-iron-swan-ale-for-the-sword-next-week-video-949/).

Immutable Dusk 7%
Instrumental post-metal masters Pelican have some serious cred behind the beer taps. From the Three Floyds brewery, Pelican’s Immutable Dusk Black IPA is an artfully crafted brew with a dark and beguiling flavor (http://loudwire.com/signature-rock-metal-beers-rankings/). This Cascadian Immutable Dusk-style ale is as unwavering in its dark and beguiling flavor as it's namesake. Enjoy this intense black IPA brewed with our friends in the band PELICAN.

The Creeper
Pelican strikes the list once again with yet another acclaimed brew, ‘The Creeper.’ Brewed by Three Floyds for Pelican’s 10th anniversary show, the doppelbock edges even closer to a perfect score worthy of its namesake and brewery (http://loudwire.com/signature-rock-metal-beers-rankings/). Pelican will host a 10th anniversary party with a concert and the release of its 10xLP boxset. Three Floyds is joining in on the fun with a special release brew, The Creeper Doppelbock. Per Pelican’s Facebook page, the beer will be available on tap at the show though it is unknown whether bottles will be available that night. “Bottles will be available at select retailers and the 3 Floyds Brewpub following the event. Also we’re doing a party at Big Star the day after the show where the beer will on tap and we’ll be hanging out listening to Thin Lizzy or something.” (http://beerpulse.com/2010/10/beer-notes-three-floyds-dogfish-head-half-acre-and-more/) Creeper Doppelbock is a big German-American style Doppelbock brewed with the band Pelican in honor of the band’s 10th anniversary.

You think Vikings don’t drink beer??? Please… Amon Amarth love to wash down the blood of their enemies with a wonderful Imperial Porter dubbed Ragnarök.

I don't know that much about Guided by Voices. But, apparently, 20 years ago they recorded their first album. Dogfish Head would like to celebrate that album with a beer. It's fun to mix music and beer and so I celebrate them despite not knowing that much about Guided by Voices. To celebrate that independent spirit and the 20th anniversary of the band’s classic album Bee Thousand, Dogfish Head has brewed BEER Thousand. This imperial lager, chosen to echo the copious amounts of lager that fueled GBV’s garage recordings, is brewed with 10 grains and 10 hop varieties, and clocks in at 10% ABV (http://beergraphs.com/bb/476-music-and-beer-together/).

Paul McCartney brouwt zelf ook!
Sir Paul McCartney has joined a growing band of rock and roll stars turning their attentions to beer brewing. McCartney has created an ale called Old Stinkhorn (named after a phallic-shaped mushroom that grows on his estate) using hops that grow on his land in East Sussex. It's not on sale, sadly - he likes to give the ale to friends and family as gifts.
These days, there are as many beers being brewed by rock and roll legends as there are musical genres – lagers, ales, wheat beers, hoppy brews, stronger beers for sipping slowly. And the musicians who have joined the fun might surprise you (www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/beer/rock-and-roll-stars-who-have-created-their-own-beer/) (www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/6915712/Sir-Paul-McCartney-brews-beer-from-his-estate.html) (http://womc.cbslocal.com/2016/02/10/paul-mccartney-did-you-know-he-makes-his-own-brew/).
Wie allemaal nog meer?
Er zijn tal van bands die bier brouwen (zie o.a. de lijst hier):
Queen Bohemian Lager, 4.7%
Queen marked the 40th anniversary of the hit Bohemian Rhapsody by releasing a beer. The band’s late, great singer Freddie Mercury was well known for sipping a glass of the suds while on stage, and now people can toast his memory with an authentic Czech lager (of course, brewed in Bohemia) (www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/beer/rock-and-roll-stars-who-have-created-their-own-beer/).
The band Madness were said to have been inspired to make their own beer while drinking in the pub where they performed their first gigs in north London, the Dublin Castle. Brewed by one of London’s new wave of breweries Portobello, it’s a crisp, easy drinking lager, which tastes like liquid bread with refreshing citrus overtones from the hops (www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/beer/rock-and-roll-stars-who-have-created-their-own-beer/) (www.squaremeal.co.uk/news/top-of-the-hops-pop-stars-who-brew-beers).
Motorhead
Motorhead‘s Bastards Lager may be the loudest beer ever bottled, but it apparently is not the best. The pale lager is brewed in Sweden and has a fairly low ABV of 4.7 percent, just 0.3 away from matching its Overall score on RateBeer (http://loudwire.com/signature-rock-metal-beers-rankings/) (www.americanbadassbeer.com/). For all beer drinkers and hell raisers, fans of loud and fast rock and roll, no matter if you have no class or if you are a damage case, this mean machine lager is fuel for any head banging opportunity.

When it comes to slapping a name onto anything and everything, KISS are the undisputed champions. As a result, it shouldn’t be too surprising that KISS Destroyer pale lager received low marks (http://loudwire.com/signature-rock-metal-beers-rankings/) (www.americanbadassbeer.com/). Kiss Destroyer Beer is a cool German with a thick foam head and balanced flavor. The beverage will be available in cans and bottles. “This isn’t just something we put a label on. We wanted wine and beer unique to Kiss and we got it,” said noted non-drinker Paul Stanley. “This stuff will set your taste buds on fire.”
His longtime bandmate and fellow teetotaler Gene Simmons concurred, “If you love beer and wine, this one is for you!” (http://ultimateclassicrock.com/kiss-wine-beer/).
Trooper, 4.8%
Heavy metal rockers Iron Maiden, who have sold more than 90 million albums, put their name to a beer which proved to be Stockport brewer Robinsons greatest hit. The Trooper, which pays homage to one of the band’s best loved live stage songs, is powered by three powerful hops, Bobek, Goldings, and Cascade, which makes the golden beer sing with citrus flavours. The band’s front man Bruce Dickinson played a major part in developing the beer, even taking time out of rehearsals to help brew it. Available from ironmaidenbeer.com and in pubs and supermarkets nationally (www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/beer/rock-and-roll-stars-who-have-created-their-own-beer/) (http://loudwire.com/signature-rock-metal-beers-rankings/).
Bruce Dickinson, lead singer of Iron Maiden, is a lover of all things British: witness his on-stage brandishing of the Union Flag and his obsession with military history. That patriotic urge extends, it appears, to ale. ‘I’m a lifelong fan of traditional English ale,’ he said when Trooper was launched in March this year, with the help of Stockport brewery Robinsons. ‘I thought I’d died and gone to heaven when we were asked to create our own beer.’ Given that, it’s no surprise that Trooper, named after the band’s 1983 tune about the Charge of the Light Brigade, is a traditional drop: Dickinson took a real interest in its creation, visiting the brewery on a number of occasions and working with head brewer Martyn Weeks to formulate the recipe. ‘As a fan of traditional English cask beer, I thought that this could actually be something really exciting… we could develop a proper, real, long-term beer,’ explains Dickinson. A proper beer it certainly is, but its traditional flavour – all nutty malt and prickly English hops – means it’s more likely to appeal to fans of classic brown bitter than the new craft-beer crowd (www.squaremeal.co.uk/news/top-of-the-hops-pop-stars-who-brew-beers) (www.squaremeal.co.uk/news/top-of-the-hops-pop-stars-who-brew-beers). Iron Maiden‘s ‘Trooper’ ale has worked wonders for the Robinsons British brewery. Developed by Robinsons and Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson, the ale has become the brewery’s most in-demand beer in their history.
In a tantalizing description from the brewery, “‘Trooper‘ is a Premium British Beer inspired by Iron Maiden and handcrafted at Robinsons brewery. 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.” Run to the pub!

I'm a Light Lager brewed in France.
Category: Imported
Brewer: Brasserie Licorne Sas
Alcohol Content (ABV): 5.0%
AC-DC, the infamous Hardrock Legends from down under, have been delivering true rock for the last 40 years. Now they give their name to a true, pint-sized Australian taste as well. AC-DC is 500mL of true German Premium Lager with mouth-watering 5.0%alc. This lager fires up your tongue like TNT, comes with a great beer-loving taste and is brewed in accordance with the Rock`n Roll manifesto of 1973 and the German purity law of 1516 (www.thebeerstore.ca/beers/ac-dc-premium-lager). Australians love their beer, and what better band to crack open a beer to than AC/DC? The Australian rock legends have slapped their logo on a German Premium Lager called ‘Australian Hardrock.’
The lovely lager may not come in a super-sized can like Fosters, but you can purchase a mini keg of the stuff! AC/DC’s ‘Australian Hardrock’ promises to “fire up your tongue like TNT’ and is brewed within the mandate of the German purity law of 1516 (http://loudwire.com/ac-dc-bands-with-signature-beers/). "AC/DC Premium Bier" sind 568 ml echtes deutsches Premium-Pils mit vollmundigen 4,8% Vol. Alkohol. Das 5-Liter-Fass ist der Roadie unter den Bieren für die rockige Runde mit Freunden (http://acdc-beverage.com/Produkt/acdc-beer) (http://acdc-beverage.com/Produkt/acdc-beer-old). For those about to rock… perhaps choose a different beer? AC/DC’s own pale lager comes in a giant can, so if you’re looking for Fosters-like quantity, bottoms up! However, if taste is your priority, RateBeer suggests looking elsewhere (http://loudwire.com/signature-rock-metal-beers-rankings/).
Eindelijk is hij er! Voor alle hard-rock fans die hebben gewacht op het nieuwe album van AC/DC “Rock or Bust!”. Om dat te vieren is er nu een nieuw bier met de stijl van de albumcover.

Rock or Bust, het nieuwe album van AC/DC, is het vijftiende album dat zij internationaal uitbrengen en het zestiende in totaal.

Our favorite Brazilian thrashers Sepultura released their own beer packaged in an awesome faux amplifier. However, according to RateBeer, Sepultura Weizen succeeds in style, but not necessarily in taste (http://loudwire.com/signature-rock-metal-beers-rankings/) (www.americanbadassbeer.com/).

BADASS (YES ITS ALL CAPS) 4,2%
"It's born out of the bushels of American barley and hops harvested straight from the heartland. It's crafted with care in a place where factories mark one horizon and wild forests mark the next. This beer's built with American Pride."
"The Backstory –
Yes, this is Kid Rock's beer. This beer hasn't just been built for this American badass, it has been built alongside this rock 'n' roll son of Detroit. This is Kid Rock's beer, and it casts the same kind of net that his music does: far, wide and all-out original."

Kid Rock is responsible for this ‘Badass’ beer, brewed in the musician’s home state of Michigan. Unfortunately, Badass American Lager has received an extremely low score on RateBeer.com (http://loudwire.com/signature-rock-metal-beers-rankings/) (www.americanbadassbeer.com/).
Brewed by Brew Detroit
Style: Pale Lager
Detroit, Michigan USA
COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Launched by Kid Rock.
Originally brewed at Michigan Brewing Company and since 2012 in Brew Detroit.
It’s born out of of bushels of American barley and hops harvested straight from the heartland. It’s crafted with care in place where Detroit’s factories mark one horizon and wild forests mark the next. This beer’s built with Michigan pride. Pry one open and you’ll know: there’s trouble brewing. This is pure American Badass. americanbadassbeer.com (www.ratebeer.com/beer/badass-redneck-lager/107633/) It's no gimmick... it's some pretty damn good beer. A lighter beer with a set of balls! I don't know if the KID ROCK is a fisherman... but I think this beer was made for the bass fishing crowd. It may be a little too redneck for the trout boys with their fruity flavored brews. This has the American Outlaw flavor and hillbilly deluxe styling that says your old school and damn proud of it! (www.thefreshwaterfly.com/2010/08/mr-rocks-badass-american-lager.html)
Faithfull Ale 7%
Pearl Jam‘s signature fruit beer, ‘Faithfull Ale,’ comes straight from the famous Dogfish Head Brewery in Delaware. The band worked with Dogfish Head to create the beer, launching it to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Pearl Jam’s seminal album, ‘Ten.’
(http://loudwire.com/signature-rock-metal-beers-rankings/) (www.americanbadassbeer.com/). Faithfull Ale is a celebration of Pearl Jam's 20th anniversary as a band and its extraordinary debut album, "Ten." In recognition of these milestones, this Belgian-style golden ale is delicately hopped to 20 IBUs and fruit-forward from 10 incremental additions of black currants over a one-hour boil. Faithfull clocks in at 7% ABV.
"To me, 'Ten' is the perfect example of a record-lover's-record. The whole thing rocks," says Dogfish Head President & Founder Sam Calagione. "As an off-centered brewery, we believe in celebrating the breadth of our whole portfolio and we feel an affinity for Pearl Jam a long-player band in a singles-obsessed world."

Build a Rocket Boys!, 4%
Lancashire favourites Elbow produced a beer to coincide with their fifth album. Build a Rocket Boys! was launched in 2011 in collaboration with another northern favourite, Robinsons Brewery. Last year, after selling more than 750,000 pints and raising more than £40,000 for Oxfam, the band decided it was going to be last orders for the easy drinking, malty beer. So anyone finding the beer still on sale in an off-licence could be looking at a collector’s item (www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/beer/rock-and-roll-stars-who-have-created-their-own-beer/) (www.squaremeal.co.uk/news/top-of-the-hops-pop-stars-who-brew-beers).
Hip-hop artists are generally thought to be more interested in blingy Champagne and brandy than beer, but not Professor Green .... He was very involved in the production of his beer, Remedy, says Signature Brew’s McGregor. ‘We took him up to Titanic Brewery in Staffordshire, where the beer was initially brewed,’ he says. ‘We showed him round and explained the process. He had a very good idea of what he wanted.’ Green enjoyed the American-style pale ales he was offered but wanted to brew something made entirely with English ingredients. He was pleased with the outcome. ‘I suppose a smart person would pick a beer that would sell very well, but with my music I’m quite selfish, I make music that I like,’ he says. ‘I don’t go in to the studio and go “what can I make that will sell x amount of copies?” I just went with what my taste requirements… required!’ The beer, now available in Morrisons, has been served at a number of Professor Green’s gigs – but it deserves to be drunk more widely. Clean and satisfyingly bitter, it’s the sort of golden, hoppy ale that couldn’t be more popular at the moment (www.squaremeal.co.uk/news/top-of-the-hops-pop-stars-who-brew-beers).
(www.gottheremedy.com/) (www.squaremeal.co.uk/news/top-of-the-hops-pop-stars-who-brew-beers).
Welsh rockers Super Furry Animals turned to craft brewers Celt Experience when they wanted to produce their own beer for a festival in Caerphilly.
The beer which is named after their 1996 debut, Fuzzy Logic, is a funky combination of styles. A Welsh ale which has been fermented with a saison yeast, it has a pronounced citrus aroma and a hint of pleasant sourness (www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/beer/rock-and-roll-stars-who-have-created-their-own-beer/).
Folk singer Frank Turner says he writes his songs to be sung in bars. Well, he can now drink his own bottled beer while crooning. His brew Believe is an English twist on a Belgian wheat beer, with orange citrus flavours and swathes of spice. Brewed by Hackney hipsters Signature Brew, the beer is one of several music-inspired collaborations the company produces (www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/beer/rock-and-roll-stars-who-have-created-their-own-beer/) (www.squaremeal.co.uk/news/top-of-the-hops-pop-stars-who-brew-beers).
The General is another beer from Signature Brew, which was created after rock band The Rifles visited the brewery. Signature Brew director Sam McGregor said: “The band got really involved in the process, which is represented in the quality of the beer and the brilliant label artwork they produced.” The crisp, wheat beer was created as antidote to the thousands of dull insipid lagers the band members had drunk while touring the country (www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/beer/rock-and-roll-stars-who-have-created-their-own-beer/).
Dogfish Head American Beauty, 10.7%
Next time you're listening to one of the Grateful Dead’s greatest albums, 1970s American Beauty, try drinking the beer named after it. Dogfish Head’s American Beauty is a fulsome imperial pale ale, which was brewed using the hippies' favourite breakfast cereal, granola. The amber-coloured beer stars swirling flavours of honey, oats and fruit (www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/beer/rock-and-roll-stars-who-have-created-their-own-beer/).

Three Floyds Razor Hoof
Brewed by Three Floyds Brewing Company
Style: Saison
Munster, Indiana USA
COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brewed with our friends in the epic band High On Fire. This dry hopped saison is worthy of Razor Hoof. Corpse wolf now raised (www.ratebeer.com/beer/three-floyds-razor-hoof/226278/)
Three Floyds is one of America’s best breweries, but Razor Hoof has garnered a rare lukewarm response from critics. Razor Hoof is a collaboration with High on Fire, leading to a saison ale with a fairly high ABV of 8.2 percent (http://loudwire.com/signature-rock-metal-beers-rankings/) (www.3floyds.com/beer/razorhoof/?age_verification=8c63b00e1e).
Black Tongue 8,3%
Mastodon were one of the first. The band released a lager as part of Sonisphere Festival promotions in the summer of 2009, which had a very limited run (www.metalinjection.net/bands-and-booze/mastodon-launching-another-beer-black-tongue-double-black-ipa).
Mastodon have released two brands of beer, one of which is Black Tongue, a black IPA. The drink’s overall score on RateBeer is very good, but its low style points dragged the average of Black Tongue down tremendously (http://loudwire.com/signature-rock-metal-beers-rankings/). Black Tongue is a Double Black IPA, brewed in collaboration with metal legends - Mastodon.
Rumbling smoky notes are offset by the elixir of misbehaving punchy hops. Citra and Magnum hops to the front, with Carafa Special 3 Malt and Pale on the baseline, this is our biggest and most powerful creation to date. The band wanted to create a 'palate crusher' and that's certainly what has been delivered. A beer for enjoying slowly, letting the bombardment of flavour and intensity hit your tongue and explode with every sip (www.signaturebrew.co.uk/products/black-tongue) (www.ratebeer.com/beer/signature-brew-black-tongue/246334/).

To celebrate the band’s 30th anniversary, Voivod launched their very own bottle of suds. The inspiration behind Voivod’s Kluskap O’ Kom Spice/Herb/Vegetable Lager came from the band’s 2013 album, ‘Target Earth.’ (http://loudwire.com/signature-rock-metal-beers-rankings/).
Lips of Faith 9,5%
Clutch is the perfect band to complement with a beer. The band’s Lips of Faith brew is an American Strong Ale with a 9 percent ABV. Lips of Faith has been a huge hit, showcasing pronounced hints of dark chocolate, coffee and black malts that bridge the sourness of its dark wood ale (http://loudwire.com/signature-rock-metal-beers-rankings/).

This pleasing, two-part, potion was brewed with chocolate and black malts for a rich and roasty overtone, then fused with a dry, substratum of sour for a bold and audacious flavor. Black as night, this beer is blended at 80% stout, 20% dark sour wood beer for a collaboration that begins with a sour edge and finishes with a big, dark malt character, lingering, sweet on your palate (www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/192/71774/).
The Sword
Nothing quenches your thirst like a cold beer when you’re being impaled by the Sword. The band’s Iron Swan English Pale Ale is actually made in Texas, but is filled with beautiful English hops and perhaps represents Texas with the brew’s mild spiciness.
(http://loudwire.com/signature-rock-metal-beers-rankings/). Iron Swan Ale, the newest canned offering from Real Ale Brewing Co., pays tribute to the song that served as the brewery’s introduction to the rock band, THE SWORD.
Based on an English-style Pale Ale, the Iron Swan pours a deep copper color and has an enticing intro of fruit and caramel with subtle hints of earth and spice. This medium bodied ale showcases the fruitiness of the house ale strain, along with the rich toffee flavors of English crystal malt. Added complexity is provided by generous amounts of English hops. Iron Swan finishes slightly dry with a mild spiciness that beckons another can (http://beerpulse.com/2013/07/real-ale-brewing-releases-iron-swan-ale-for-the-sword-next-week-video-949/).

Instrumental post-metal masters Pelican have some serious cred behind the beer taps.

Per Pelican’s Facebook page, the beer will be available on tap at the show though it is unknown whether bottles will be available that night. “Bottles will be available at select retailers and the 3 Floyds Brewpub following the event. Also we’re doing a party at Big Star the day after the show where the beer will on tap and we’ll be hanging out listening to Thin Lizzy or something.” (http://beerpulse.com/2010/10/beer-notes-three-floyds-dogfish-head-half-acre-and-more/) Creeper Doppelbock is a big German-American style Doppelbock brewed with the band Pelican in honor of the band’s 10th anniversary.

I don't know that much about Guided by Voices. But, apparently, 20 years ago they recorded their first album. Dogfish Head would like to celebrate that album with a beer. It's fun to mix music and beer and so I celebrate them despite not knowing that much about Guided by Voices. To celebrate that independent spirit and the 20th anniversary of the band’s classic album Bee Thousand, Dogfish Head has brewed BEER Thousand. This imperial lager, chosen to echo the copious amounts of lager that fueled GBV’s garage recordings, is brewed with 10 grains and 10 hop varieties, and clocks in at 10% ABV (http://beergraphs.com/bb/476-music-and-beer-together/).
