Rime of the ancient mariner rum.

almost an hour of HME talking about beer, sign me up!

Turning on notifications WAS worth it.

Never get tired of these two

Quality burps, they must be good

I can't tell how old you are! You both look 30 and 45 at the same time!!

Download 2007 was my first festival, Maiden were rounding off the Matter of Life & Death album cycle. They crushed it. "If Paschendale was a beer..." It has ALE IN THE NAME, Little Dan! Maybe Aces High-PA? Remember (nothing) Tomorrow?

I first saw Maiden in 1984 Powerslave Tour think we went to several nights at the Hammersmith Odeon.

RUM OF THE ANCIENT MARINER !!!

Looks like a bit of a struggle to get through the ales and stout...

lol i can see that being big dans reaction to any jump scare scene in a horror movie

Not a ale or lager guy (bring on the cider) but have got a horrible habit of buying all the trooper stuff and to be fair - four ciders down, suddenly lager / ale is totally fit for purpose. Ack, Soniphere only caught it twice but a good festival - I know they were great gigs because I really can't remember about them other than queuing alongside a castle wall. Always a good sign :)

Only ever had middle of the road trooper but big Dan is right it's damn good

Sonisphere was brilliant. I remember watching Chaz and Dave then immediately after them was Slayer. Love Slayer, but they werent a patch on Chaz and Dave that day

There is a Maiden Sticker book but the catch is the book itself came with an issue of metal hammer and you had to buy all the subsequent issues to be able to fill it

Great video guys. All the Beers in this video are brewed at my local and home town brewery

Please try the Korpiklaani vodka ❤🤘

Up the Irons. Can't wait to try those Iron Maiden beers🍻🤘

I live in the U.S., so I think it is really limited which ones we can get. I have had The Trooper on multiple occasions, but not lately, as I haven't seen it for some time. I think the last time was in a hard rock/metal bar in a small town a couple hours from where I live. I did find the Red and Black one at one point, but have not had it. Some of these others sound interesting, but not the IPAs. I don't care for IPAs as hops were meant to balance a beer, not overpower it and kick you in the mouth with the taste of freshly mowed grass. That being said, I would be more inclined to try an IPA, if that particular bottle was kind of old, which is really what IPA was created for (to hold up to a long voyage overseas). Honestly, I haven't found very many of the various metal band-related beers. Obituary had at least one, but I think there were a couple. Never saw the Motorhead beers anywhere. I have found the Megadeth beer, which I think is good, although the flavor isn't super intense, so that may put some off. However, it does make for a very drinkable beer. That is another I had at that bar a couple hours from my home. I can also currently find it at some stores in town, so that is good.

Best bit 23:15 Its now my new text message tone.

Just popping in to say I miss watching your videos and seeing festival vlogs.

When Robinsons announced they were doing the latest 2 beers ( trooper IPA and fear of the dark) I suggested the name Can IPA with madness. Love the idea of Rum to the hills 🍻🍻

Thank you for your sacrifice. Quality content as always

yes!! another vid! up the irons \m/

I would have named the cider Powerslave because we’re all slaves to the power of booze… *SLAVES TO THE POWER OF BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZEEE*

Update: I have now tried the IPA and Sun and Steel. Soon, I am hoping to get the Fear of the Dark stout. The IPA was actually enjoyable, but I imagine that it doesn't deliver what the typical IPA drinker wants. Sun and Steel was interesting and pleasant. I would definitely drink it again. Would love to try Hallowed, but I don't think it is available here. I would also love to try the Gorgoroth beers, but I think they are only available in Norway or nearby there, anyway. I also plan on seeing Maiden in September.

Little Dan: "Do you want to drop the reading on the back mate?" Big Dan: "NO!!!!"

I have already ordered my box and can't wait to taste them. Some of them I have already tasted, with Sun And Steel being my favorite of the trooper beers so far. I saw they have have made some collaboration beers with a brazilian and an australian brewery. :)

Just noticed that the bottle caps have changed, you've got song, they used to be albums

RUUUM TO THE HILLS RUUUM FOR YOUR WIVES Tell the world of Paschend-ALE GINvaders

'Kanpai' is 'Cheers' in Japanese gentlemen. Love the video🍻 Little Dan I was there at Sonisphere Knebworth 2010 to see Maiden too 🤘🏽 great festival. It's a shame because it did go to shit after they tried the whole Queen thing.

Nice to see the Patreon money going to good use 😂 They are brilliant beers, I bought the last box they did

Anyone been able to get this in the us?

Sad
