Today we have a new brew coming from Robinson’s Brewery. This is Iron Maiden Trooper 666 beer and it will join the original Trooper beer coming from Robinson’s. This new brew will have a higher abv, up to 6.6%-AbV from the original 4.7%-AbV. This beer will be package din 11.2oz bottles for U.S. distribution and stay tuned for release details. This from Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson:
"Our fans have been asking for a stronger brew and it seemed only right to do this at 6.6% ABV! Despite the links with our song 'The Number Of The Beast', the name Trooper 666 has actually come about as a result of some detailed research by historian Terry Brighton, who has shown that there were in fact 666 soldiers that rode in The Charge of the Light Brigade during the Battle of Balaclava in 1854, and not just the 600 of Tennyson's famous poem."
