Beer Radar for TWTW Friday 25th Jan 2013
By John Krüger
You’ve seen the AC/DC and Motörhead wines, but what about beers? Did you know that there’s a Kiss “Destroyer” beer? It’s brewed in Sweden and says on the label that it’s “The hottest beer in the world”; obviously not the greatest tag line for a cold beer. One bottle shop attendant said he had someone come in and buy 2 cartons. “He didn’t care what the beer’s like, he was just going to give them to a friend who likes the band.” It’s actually not a bad beer, a malty lager. It tastes a little like Detroit rock with a hint of disco. The Brazilian metal band Sepultura have also put their name to a special brew. Is it a palate damaging imperial IPA? No, it’s a soft Hefeweizen, the Barry Manilow of beers.
