Aussie powerhouses AC/DC are about to have their very own craft beers.
Dubbed the AC/DC PWR UP Juicy IPA and the AC/DC TNT Double IPA, the two beers will come in 16oz collector’s cans and created by KnuckleBonz and Calicraft.
To announce the beer’s impending release, they issued a statement. “We are excited to announce this is the first in a series of AC/DC branded beers to be featured in this unique collaboration to bring quality beverages to the music superfan.”
As per NME, the AC/DC PWR UP Juicy IPA has been named after the band’s recent 2020 released album POWER UP and is a 6.6% “modern take” on a juicy/hazy IPA. As per the press release, it’s “designed to be an all-day session IPA – perfect for at the show or at the after-party”.
The second beer in the duo is the AC/DC TNT, with its named derived from the band’s song ‘TNT’ from their first international album, High Voltage.
The AC/DC TNT Double IPA is a modern take on a classic style, just like the song, proving that “classics never go out of style.”
To create this one, the brands stated, “We blend a mix of Australian Cascade, American Cascade and Simcoe to create a big, bold 8.2% Double IPA.”
