Iron Maiden have once again teamed with Robinsons for a new Belgian-style beer, Hallowed. The new beer follows the success of their Trooper ale, Trooper 666 and Red ‘N’ Black porter. “What makes this brew pretty special is that we’re adopting a Belgian yeast for the first time,” frontman Bruce Dickinson said. “I’m a big fan of Belgian beers, so I jumped at the chance to brew my own. While I get very excited about experimenting with new formulas and ingredients, the thing about Belgian beer is that it’s as much a way of life as it is a drink. We’ve tried to bottle that philosophy in Hallowed, albeit with a British twist.” Dickinson again worked with Robinsons’ head brewer, Martyn Weeks, in creating Hallowed, which is six percent ABV. “It’s all in the yeast,” Weeks added. “Belgian yeast yields a very distinct taste and presentation. You can sniff out a Belgian beer simply from its aromas: fruity, spicy and earthy. Belgian yeasts withstand higher alcohol levels, they attenuate well and create an array of phenolics and esters. put simply, this means more flavor and I think Hallowed drinkers are in for a treat.” Hallowed will only be sold for four months, beginning in October of this year.
