Earth Kveik IPA weighs in at 6.7% ABV; an intensely fruity pale ale brewed with five different hops and fermented on a Norwegian farmhouse ale yeast. Tasting notes include orange, cherry, and strawberry. Sounds good to us READ MORE
London based brewery, Signature Brew recently announced their crowdfunding campaign and we’re digging it. Having been long time fans of punk rock and going to gigs, we find it tiresome having to drink macro lager at big music venues and festivals but times are a-changin’ and Signature Brew are leading the way.
Having collaborated with a string of awesome bands across a variety of genres, they want to make good beer accessible to music fans – and are combining their love of great beer and live music in doing so. If they can successfully raise the investment required, they’ll be one step closer to ridding the world of rubbish beer at gigs, and if that’s not a good reason to invest, we don’t know what is…
Thankfully, we found someone who does. Signature Brew’s Head of Marketing, John Longbottom, was kind enough to chat to us, filling us in on all the details of the crowdfunding campaign, future plans and loads more. Before joining his best mates at Signature Brew, John was News Editor at Kerrang! for several years so these guys know their music as well as their beers!
We love Signature Brew – they’ve made collaboration brews with some of our favourite bands and musicians and they’re on a mission to bring good beer to music venues, bars and festivals.
They’ve just announced a partnership with leading microphone manufacturer, Shure, to incorporate their microphones into their signature tap handles. READ MORE
Lightyear are a seven-piece ska-punk band known for their chaotic live shows and feel good vibes; a punk rock party band. They released two albums on Household Name Records between 2001-2003 before splitting up shortly afterwards, having toured intensely during that time.
In just a few short years, they managed to get kicked off the Jackass tour, sneak on stage with Ice T dressed as a pantomime horse and play Reading and Leeds festival multiple times including a gig in the campsite with a PA & generator. It’s also worth noting that they were dressed as ninjas for that campsite gig and they played after Metallica finished, so technically, they headlined the festival. READ MORE
Let’s begin at the beginning… we’ve known Frank for quite a while, having booked his first couple of Irish tours for him over a decade ago. Having shared beers, pizzas and drunken chit-chat before we thought, why not do it again?
Frank’s currently playing some solo shows in Mexico before embarking on an almost sold-out UK tour in support of his 7th album, Be More Kind. He was kind enough to chat with us during some down-time on the road. READ MORE
