Iron Maiden , The Tropper tiene su cerveza. Xtreme Rock Radio MOnterrey

La nota no es tan nueva, pero que rica es la cerveza. 
 
 La agrupación inglesa Iron Maiden, una de las bandas icónicas del rock y el heavy metal, lanzó hace unas semanas su propia cerveza, la cual bautizaron como Trooper en honor a la canción incluida en el álbum Piece of Mind, cuarto disco en la carrera de la banda, lanzado en 1983.

La bebida, producida por la marca inglesa Robinsons Brewery, ha tenido tal aceptación que la fábrica ha tenido que trabajar tres veces más de lo normal durante los últimos días para poder satisfacer la demanda proveniente de todas partes del mundo.La creación de esta cerveza, según medios ingleses, surgió a iniciativa de Bruce Dickinson, vocalista de la banda, quien en conjunto con los demás miembros del grupo trabajó hasta conseguir un destilado tipo Golden Ale, es decir, que Trooper es una cerveza de tonos color ámbar y con cuerpo ligero, a la que el grupo le añadió algunos toques cítricos, lo que le ha valido una gran respuesta por parte de sus seguidores que, además, disfrutan de la etiqueta que envuelve la botella.En ella se aprecia una parte de la portada del sencillo “The Trooper”, en donde aparece la imagen de “Eddie Maiden”, la mascota del grupo, ataviado con un uniforme del ejército inglés y sujetando una bandera del Reino Unido desgarrada.

The 9th of May 2013 was certainly a day to remember in Robinsons staggering 175 year legacy as they expected a product launch like no other before … and they were not disappointed! With a reception attended by over 100 influential brewing trade representatives from both the UK and Internationally, TROOPER beer was officially launched.

And what better venue to pull the first cask pint of Trooper than the brew house in which the beer was made. Robinsons brand new multi million pound Visitors Centre was aptly and tastefully kitted out in full Trooper garb. The stylish back bar was stacked with gleaming bottles of this new Premium British Beer, the solid copper bar proudly displayed the striking Trooper pump clip (soon to be seen on bars all over the country), and even the foodstuff was specially created using Trooper ale.

Bruce Dickinson not only attended the Trade Launch, but he also conducted a tour of the Brewery to explain to everyone first-hand the process of exactly how Trooper beer is made… Robinsons Brewery were so impressed with Bruce’s tour they offered him a slot as a Robinsons brewery tour guide (if he ever gets tired of performing to millions of Maiden fans, flying airplanes and fencing).

Robinsons Managing Director Oliver Robinson then gave a short speech about how the Iron Maiden/Robinsons collaboration came about and he presented Bruce with a specially engraved Brewery hand pump, in recognition of Trooper being the Fastest Ever Selling New Robinsons Beer. After much anticipation, Bruce then pulled the first-ever pint of Trooper from the cask in the Brewery bar amid loud applause from the assembled crowd. Everyone then got down to the serious business of tasting the beer for themselves and it was very well received judging by the number of smiling faces and approving comments heard around the room… not to mention the additional number of second, third and fourth pints consumed. In fact Robinsons’ own Head Brewer, Martyn Weeks pronounced it his favourite beer, and renowned beer writer Pete Brown remarked how he found Trooper to be very good indeed and extremely drinkable.

Finally when Bruce was asked to sum up his new ale in one word, he grinned and said ‘Trooperb’!

The unprecedented upfront demand for the beer meant that Robinsons had to brew three times a day, six days a week for the first time ever in the Brewery’s 175 year history to cope with pre-orders in excess of 300,000 pints … and that was before the beer had even been tasted. Robinsons have been overwhelmed by the number of enquiries they’ve had from all over the world (below is a comprehensive list of whereabouts the interest has come from – a staggering 184 countries!)

Trooper is now available to order online throughout most of the EU, and Robinsons are working flat-out to ensure it will be available to the rest of the world as soon as possible.
