On the eve of the release of Kate Bush's much anticipated new album '50 Words For Snow' we celebrate the 33rd anniversary of the release of her debut album 'The Kick Inside'.
The album contained the classic single 'Wuthering Heights' and the haunting 'Man With The Child In His Eyes'. She was just 19 when the album was released but had written most of the songs when she was only 13!
The beer is a very well-hopped IPA. We wanted the beer to have its own 'kick inside' and that comes from large amounts of late addition Summit hops. The beer is limited to 31 casks and is released late-October 2011.
The latest addition to our Rewind 33 series of beers which commemorate the 33rd anniversary of the release of a classic album. This time it's the Siouxsie & The Banshees debut album 'The Scream' released on 13th November 1978 and hailed by Sounds music paper as the best debut album of the year.
The album didn't spawn any singles (though the track Metal Postcard was re-recorded and sung in German with the new title Mittageisen and released in 1979). It was 1978's debut single Hong Kong Garden released in August that launched the band, with The Scream following a few months later.
The beer we have brewed to tie in with the 33rd birthday of the album (and it also seemed appropriate for Hallowe'en!) is a red ale at 4.5% ABV. It is limited to 31 casks.
This year sees Leeds' Jumbo Records celebrate 40 years of selling music to the good folk of West Yorkshire and beyond. We got talking to Jumbo earlier in the year and the idea of doing a special beer came up. We were only too happy to mark this landmark by brewing a one-off beer.
The beer has already shipped to one or two places and those of you lucky enough to get to Nottingham beer festival 14-15 October will be the first to try it! This coming week (commencing 17 October) will see the bulk of the beer shipped into bars all across Leeds (and a notable bar in Bradford). Most of the following bars will have the beer on for Jumbo's official birthday celebrations over the weekend of 22-23 October (and if it doesn't all go, into the early part of the following week). The store itself will have live acts and other special events.
Brudenell Social Club > North Bar > Mr Foley's > The Hop > Reliance Bar > Old Bar, Leeds University > Fox & Newt > Old Steps Bar (Friday night and into the following week - not open weekends)
Plus The Sparrow Bier Cafe in Bradford
