Trooper Sun & Steel 33cl 4.8°
This new collaboration between Iron Maiden and the English brewery Robinsons introduces us to Sun & Steel. A blond Pilsner beer brewed using sake yeast, a nod to their latest album Senjutsu. Its name is taken from a title of the eponymous song present on their album Piece Of Mind released in 1983.
Bruce Dickinson, singer of the group, and Martyn Weeks, brewer at Robinsons, very fond of Japanese culture, wanted to pay a new tribute to the Samurai of which the song speaks. They then decide to create this collaboration by meeting the owner of a sake brewery in Fukushima.
This double-fermented beer is similar to a lager. It features malt, fruit and sake aromas with a thick, creamy white foam.
To be enjoyed chilled: around 6°C.

In 1838, William Robinson buys the Unicorn Inn, from which is derived the logo of the current brewery, in Stockport, near Manchester, northwest of England.
His eldest son, George, is in charge and starts serving his own beer in 1849. Ten years later, Frederic, George’s younger brother develops beer production as well in a warehouse behind the inn. In the 1860’s, the brewery sells beer in many neighbouring pubs, and the family business acquire them to control the quality of the drinks served.
Frederic’s son, William, keeps expanding his father’s work and so his children John and Cecil after him. From generation to generation, the business stays in the family, and now counts 330 pubs in the northwest counties of England and throughout Wales. 13.3 million pints of beer are brewed each year.
