So, because I enjoy trying new beers, I looked up said beer. Well interestingly, it is a collaboration between the brewing company and Iron Maiden, released in July-Aug 2013. [ link to beerpulse.com] The song Trooper was based on the Crimean War. "TROOPER takes its name from the Iron Maiden song which is inspired by the famous Charge of the Light Brigade. Being a real ale enthusiast, vocalist Bruce Dickinson has developed a beer which has true depth of character."
