Iron Maiden And Brewdog USA Team Up For HELLCAT Collab

---

Global craft brewer Brewdog is teaming up with Iron Maiden to launch a new beer called Hellcat, an India Pale Lager. Together, Brewdog and Iron Maiden are bringing their respective expertise to unite and excite craft beer lovers.

“We’re thrilled to partner with a world-renowned rock band like Iron Maiden” Brewdog co-founder James Watt said. “Iron Maiden, like Brewdog, have maintained their spirit of independence throughout their stellar career. Hellcat is a hop-forward lager with a golden hazy appearance and crisp finish — an epic beer worthy of this massive collaboration.”

The feisty collab is a 6% ABV India Pale Larger, where hops and malts collide. Hellcat rages with a citrus-forward flavour with a no less aggressive malty backbone. The result is a hazy-gold IPL with an epically complex balance. As with all BrewDog beers, Hellcat is carbon negative and BrewDog removes double the CO2 it takes to make.

“I’ve been looking for the perfect partner with whom to bring a fresh, exciting beer to the U.S.” Iron Maiden Lead singer Bruce Dickinson said. “I’ve long been an admirer of BrewDog, not just because of their beers, but also of their attitude and style. When I met the BrewDog team, we discovered the respect is mutual, and that we could make an undeniably unique beer together.”

Unfortunately for us folk in the UK, this collab will only be brewed and exclusively available in the USA. Hellcat joins the global Trooper family of beers crafted by the Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson and the family-owned Robinsons Brewery.

Trooper beer was launched in 2013, and has sold over 25 million pints worldwide, as well as been exported to over 60 countries. The Trooper family of premium beers has evolved and expanded to include stouts, lagers, IPAs and more.

Hellcat will be available for purchase online at BrewDog.com/usa, and at select distributors and retailers across the country, starting fall 2021.
