Iron Maiden and Robinsons Brewery have announced two new beers including “Fear Of The Dark”, which is a 4.5% ABV English Stout, and “Trooper IPA”, which is a 4.3% ABV India Pale Ale. The drinks are available to pre-order through the Robinsons Brewery website.

Head brewer Martyn Weeks said the following:

“Trooper is close to seven years old and has exceeded all expectations for us as a brewery. These two new brews join an extensive lineup of beers that we have created in our collaboration with Bruce Dickinson and Iron Maiden. These are two new styles that we are proud to champion.”

Bruce Dickinson also commented:

“I’ve sampled so many different styles of beer around the world on my travels with Maiden and it’s hard to ignore how big IPA has become, and what an exciting style it can be. I’m a huge fan of both IPA and Stout and they were the gaping holes in the Trooper range. I’ve lost count of the number of people who have asked us to do a Fear Of The Dark Stout over the last few years!”

Weeks continued:

“An IPA is something we’ve always wanted to do with Trooper but had to wait until the timing and recipe were right. We are extremely proud of this brew which marries together familiar American hoppy flavours with a fundamentally British backbone.”

Trooper brand manager Sam Kennerley added:

“Fear Of The Dark is something fans have been begging for since Trooper was first released and we’re proud to finally be rewarding their loyalty. Trooper Red ‘N’ Black porter was one of our most popular releases so we knew there was a demand for new darker beers and we are glad to be finally releasing a sessionable stout for all our fans to enjoy.”

Weeks finished:

“These two new brews represent the next steps in the evolution of the Trooper beer collection. We can’t wait for fans old and new to try them!”.
