The Darkness x Signature Brew Seasonal Collab Beer ‘Bells End’

---

The Darkness have teamed up with Signature Brew to release their own seasonal bitter.

The new beer has been named after The Darkness’ hit Christmas song ‘Christmas Time (Don’t Let The Bells End)’. The brewery has previously worked with Frank Turner, Mastodon, Enter Shikari, IDLES, and many more.

Signature brew has described the beer, saying “On pouring out the brew, you’ll find a clear, deep copper beer with a medium-low carbonation; on the nose is a little stone fruit, toffee and light, earthy hops and you’ll be greeted with wintery and wild, spicy blackcurrant fruitiness and a firm bitterness which balances the complex rich, sweet toffee flavours of the malt.”

Talking about the beer, The Darkness’ Dan Hawkins said “The tasting session for Bells End went well, it was a big night and we tried every ale that we could think of, We wanted a beer that’s punchy and drinkable at the same time. Signature Brew really know their stuff and captured exactly what we were after. Bells End has got a bit of oomph to it, but it’s something you can drink in the run up to Christmas and throughout the whole season. It’s a very wintery beer, it’s perfect and we can’t wait for everyone to try it.”

Sam McGregor, Signature Brews co-founder said “We were really excited to brew with The Darkness, we love their music, and the experience didn’t disappoint. The band visited the brewery several times and we collaborated closely with them to find the perfect beer style and the perfect name.”

“2020 has been a tough one for everyone.” He adds “We’ve worked with musicians throughout the year, from our socially-distanced brewery shows to enlisting bands to help deliver our now legendary Pub In A Box. As we approach the end of the year everyone needs a laugh and a tasty beer – and Bells End will definitely satisfy both.”
