Another f**king beer.

How about new music instead of new beers? But first they need to make some more comic books, video games, t-shirts, mugs, toy models, etc.
Nobody will remember how much money you died with, guys! Only your music will live on. So concentrate on that while there’s still time!

Spoilers about Bruce's book below:
I honestly think this has to do more with Bruce than any other. Reading his book, I got sense that another one of his hobbies got comercial sucess and he's going with it. And it's lot easier to sell it if you put Iron Maiden label on it then if you do something from the scratch.
Also, Rod Smallwood.

I beg to differ, as someone who has seen some of the people that benefit from the work of this charity as a result of my work in biomedical engineering. I do disagree with war and killing each other, but I fully support helping the wounded.

So true. Give us a new album so I can drink the beer listening to new great music from my favourite band.

And this one is apparently going to join the original Trooper beer as a product line mainstay whereas 666, Red and Black, and Hallowed are no longer in production. Interesting. A 4% simple beer makes a lot of sense for the market, which is swinging back towards the "something you can drink all day" mentality. Hope it's good.
Indeed. From the look of Bruce's videos, the process is essentially/allegedly:
1. Phone or email from Robinsons or from Bruce: "Hey, about a new beer and here's why."
2. Robinsons and Bruce decide on a style of beer for whatever particular reason, also probably via a quick chat on the phone or email.
3. Robinsons does a bunch of work creating different flavor profiles for that beer.
4. Bruce shows up for one day, tastes them all, says, "This one's good, I like this."
5. Iron Maiden has a new beer!

Thank you. It's not like we would have two more studio albums the past five years without the beers and mobile games etc.
Welsh Phantom
Ancient Mariner
Correct.
..........as long as you don't count the long tour for the Legacy of the Beast game.
I am sure a new album would be quicker without the tour (that came from the game)
Welsh Phantom
Ancient Mariner
Oh of course
But unless Maiden throw a real curve ball, this LOTB tour is delaying a new album. Let's remember Maiden have not written and recorded a new album since 2014!
You're assuming that the tour wouldn't happen if it wasn't for the game, when in reality it falls in quite firmly in the Iron Maiden post-reunion touring pattern.
Welsh Phantom
Ancient Mariner
Yes, but this time the band were making noises about getting back in the studio, time is short etc.
But who knows, maybe an album is in the works anyway.
Welsh Phantom

I guess we will never know for sure.
I would not be surprised if the game was specifically developed for a tour in the first place, knowing how far ahead Rod seems to plan.

New Year, new beer (with a charity touch)
