Swedish hard rock outfit Crucified Barbara have teamed up with newly established microbrewery Heavy Metale Brewery AB to launch the band’s cocky and loud Red Ale, inspired by their latest release In the Red via Despotz Records. The beer will be available early 2015 in Sweden’s Systembolagen.

Per Johansson, master brewer at Heavy Metale commented:

“A really fun collaboration. I, together with Ida Evileye, who is the beerqueen in the band, discussed beer back and forth. We were inside the Bitter and Brown Ale, but felt for a Red Ale. Red Ale reminiscent of both the bitter and Brown Ale. It allows the malt to take up more space and reduces the amount of hops which gives a comfortable, slightly dry and karamellig character with a hint of bitterness to rounding.”

The band also commented:

“We have longed for to make a really good beer, and now we got that opportunity in the collaboration with Heavy Metale. We have had the idea and the vision to create a ‘drink friendly’ and especially good beer for everyone and everything. Just like our music!”
