Trooper (beer); Iron Maiden; Crimea

A friend mentioned a new beer that he had tried called Trooper Ale brewed by the Robinsons Brewery. 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.

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." Quote from:
