Iron Maiden got into the craft beer business and got excited. After launching “The Trooper” a few years ago, the British Heavy Metal group has already ventured into some other versions of the drink and has now introduced its newest partnership with the Robinsons brewery.

This is “Sun And Steel,” a lager with a very special differential: yeasts commonly used to make sake, the traditional Japanese drink, were used in their fermentation, as Bruce himself explained:
“We wanted to do something special so we decided to make something with Japanese sake yeast to add more flavor. The beer is delicious and also has a very cool look!”
Watch Bruce Dickinson talking about the beer:
Sixth variation in the “Trooper” series, Iron Maiden’s new beer has 4.8% alcoholic strength and takes both lager and sake yeast.
Still, according to Louder Sound, inspiration for the Eastern ring came from a meeting of Bruce Dickinson with George Yusa, a band fan and owner of Okunomatsu, a 300-year-old traditional saké maker based in Fukushima.
I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago.
Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions.
After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world!
