Two New Troopers Join the Charge!
IRON MAIDEN and Robinsons Brewery have today announced two new beers in the award-winning TROOPER Range; Fear of the Dark, a 4.5% ABV English Stout, and TROOPER IPA, a 4.3% ABV India Pale Ale. Both beers will be available to pre-order directly through the Robinsons Brewery website with Amazon...www.ironmaidenbeer.com
A stout and IPA.
I love this "quote" from "Bruce", ". I’m a huge fan of both IPA and Stout ", he specifically said in Dublin at his show that he was NOT a stout drinker
16 bottles will cost me €66 to order, whereas every off licence in Dublin usually has a range of decent beers for €10 for 4 bottles, so I won't be ordering this online, so hopefully somewhere will import this. Haven't seen anywhere import Sun and Steel at all, and don't see regular Trooper in off licences anymore.
Bloody hell, at this rate the band would end up having released more beers than studio albums!!!

I'm looking forward to all the tension, anxiety and frustration in the Iron Maiden Beer XVIII Rumours & Speculation thread.

If only the beer was of the same quality as most Maiden albums.

I'm not looking forward to No Beer For The Dying.

I'd rather bring my daughter to the slaughter than drink that one.I'm not looking forward to No Beer For The Dying.
Ok, I'll see myself out.

I don't think they'll ever make that beer.

A little over £42 for me here. I will probably order a case (8 bottles) of each and then wait and see if they stock them at my local off licence.

It's the delivery charges that are killing them, as the price of the beer is very reasonable, they should really look for a better courier.
There's no bulk buy discount either, it's €30 for every 2 trays. So there's no advantage of buying a lot to reduce the impact of the delivery charges.
EDIT: I understand that beer is heavy and needs to be shipped securely, but surely it can be done for cheaper than it is, it's doubling the cost.

How about I drink the beer and you keep the bottles?

Not in the UK...

Yeah, low ABV is just a UK thing. Quantity of drinks over strength of drinks seems to be the prevailing preference over there.

In the case of most ales it is a case of quality, not necessarily quantity of drinks.
I would also argue that the IPA style originated here...

I think he means quantity as in the standard measure, i.e. a pint, would be larger than the equivalent in most other places.
If you were drinking pints of stronger beer i.e. Belgian strengths you'ld be on your ear pretty quickly, hence the term "lager lout" in the UK and Stella being called "wife beater", lager being stronger generally than session ales.

I know what you mean. I once had 3 pints of Gulden Draak and ended up being quite sick. Lovely strong dark triple ale, but at 10.5% you have to be sensible when drinking it!
