JamesBass Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 So today news has reached me that Iron Maiden are brewing a traditional English beer/ale, it's called The Trooper. Purely out of curiosity and my love for Maiden I cannot wait to get my hands on a bottle! http://www.ironmaidenbeer.com Quote

Marketing ploy? Shurely shome mishtake! Quote

uncle psychosis Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 British Sea Power brought this out a few years ago, it was pretty tasty (tasty enough that I bought a case...) [IMG]http://i978.photobucket.com/albums/ae269/uncle_psychosis/2012-06-11192120_zps669047c3.jpg[/IMG] Quote
Dr.Dave Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Steve Harris bought me a pint of Guiness once - Oh yes , like brothers me and my mate Steve !! If it's Iron Maiden beer I expect it'll pretend to be heavier than it is , be consistently average , cost more than it's worth and already be past it's sell by date. Quote

In my head he would laugh and order you another Guiness Quote

In my head he would laugh and order you another Guiness [/quote] Seriously - The first time I saw I M , Steve sang because their singer at the time , Paul Dianno , had a bad throat. When I met Steve after a gig at which Paul sang a couple of months later I told him they should get rid of him because he (Steve) had done a better job and that they were sh*te with Paul. The look he gave Dave Murray and some mangement bloke with them tells me this was not news to the band. Quote
seashell Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Soemone I know did a gig with Paul Dianno years after his IM days. He said he saw a roadie lacing him into a corset minutes before going on. Can't verify this of course. Quote

[/quote] Thanks I enjoyed that Dave I have brewed my own beer at home now for a number of years. Homebrewing has moved on a lot since the old days, you can order all the ingredients you could ever wish for at the click of a mouse. I can brew beer to my own preference with flavour and Alcohol % etc. The bonus is it works out very cheap, just over €1 a litre, knocks the socks off most supermarket beers and would give most craft breweries a run for their money, plus it's great fun to do. Recommend it Quote

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Similar to Dave, O met imaiden years ago. It was my very 1st gig, at the music machine(now koko). My friends saw maiden , and we chatted to them. The guys have me some of their beer.(I was underage ) . Smashing fellas. Didn't see them that night I saw praying mantis , Girl ( their 1 st gig) and Quartz. Ozzy was spotted backstage. Saw maiden for the first time then. Only Dave Murray on guitar. Quote

brensabre79 Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Robinsons do the bottling for A LOT of other beer companies in the UK (e.g. Theakstons), they are also doing a lot of branded beers for people including bands, because they have the capabilities now with their bottling and brewing facilities.
