Iron Maiden and Robinsons Brewery have announced a new kegged version of “Trooper” beer, which they are calling “Trooper Nitro.” This version of the drink is charged with nitrogen and CO2.
Trooper brand manager Sam Kennerley commented:
“Our keg version of Trooper has been extremely popular, but after listening to feedback from our customers and numerous on-trade trials, which had outstanding results, we decided to switch to mixed gas. The result — an awesome longer-lasting keg-conditioned Trooper ale whose deep and complex flavor has been enhanced with a cooler temperature and a perfect serve.
Trooper Nitro is the first of many exciting projects with Bruce and Iron Maiden that are in the pipeline for Trooper in 2019. Stay tuned.”
Ben Robinson, director of sales at Robinsons, added:
“We’re continuing to drive Trooper as the beer of music. With a focus on craft beer bars, premium outlets, music venues, live events and music festivals. We hope that Trooper Nitro can build on the success that Trooper has had since its launch in 2013 and attract a new wave of stockists and customers who are eager to get their hands on this flavorsome pint.”
