Iconic heavy steel rock band IRON MAIDEN is suiting up for the extremely anticipated U.S. leg of its Legacy of the Beast World Tour ’22 kicking off September 11th in El Paso, Texas. Artisanal Imports, the exclusive U.S. importer of Robinsons Brewery and the band’s world-renowned TROOPER line of beers, is happy to announce that fans and beer lovers can rock out with new product releases ahead of the tour at choose retailers nationwide.
First obtainable is TROOPER Senjutsu – a special-edition box set that includes 3 bottles of TROOPER Sun and Steel Saké Lager alongside a commemorative glass. TROOPER Sun and Steel is a double-fermented pilsner infused with sake to provide a crisp refreshing style. This limited-edition box set is named after Iron Maiden’s seventeenth studio album, Senjutsu (2021) which acquired great critical acclaim and worldwide commercial success – reaching #1 within the charts in 24 nations. Collectors and fans alike will discover a limited-edition Sun and Steel label, that includes the Japanese warrior art work discovered on the Senjutsu album cover.
Returning to the U.S. in June for the first time since 2018 is TROOPER Red ‘N’ Black. This 6% ABV porter presents a mix of chocolate and crystal malt that offers this full-bodied beer a roasty, caramel backbone. Robinsons Brewery’s yeast offers hints of licorice and honey to create a scrumptious warming brew. The beer is offered in 500ml limited-edition bottles, which arrive in 12-pack branded cases resembling wood shipping crates.
Red ‘N’ Black is named after a track on IRON MAIDEN’S sixteenth studio album, “The Book of Souls,” and the label was designed by IRON MAIDEN lead vocalist Bruce Dickinson in collaboration with the head brewer of Robinsons Brewery in Stockport, England.
