Iron Maiden Ale

[brewtim]

I've been wondering what to brew for my first foray into AG. I was thinking of a Robinsons clone of some sort as Robinsons brewery is in the town where I was born, Stockport. Then I noticed that Iron Maiden have designed an ale to be brewed by Robinsons !! :-)

As a rock fan and Robbies being my home town brewery then it would be fantastic to do this, however what do you think the chances are of being able to get the recipe, harvest the yeast or even taste a bottle given its unprecedented demand, a new market in celebrity real ale, nice one Iron Maiden and Robbies.

Rock on

I'm not sure how much I like this new trend of "Celebrity Beer". I got suckered into trying the beer "designed" by the band Elbow at my local...and it was rotten :nah:

And the yeast is something they have been using for 100 years ?? :wha:
