Virginian metal juggernaut Lamb of God are gearing up to drop their hotly anticipated new self-titled album on May 8th via Epic Records, but today (April 14th), they released something else entirely: the world’s first-ever non-alcoholic collaboration beer. Named “Ghost Walker” — after the song “Ghost Walking,” a standout off 2012’s As the Palaces Burn — the beer is a joint effort with Scottish craft brewer BrewDog and features a hop-forward flavor with less than 0.5% alcohol. It’s unveiling comes paired with the video premiere of Lamb of God’s most recent live performance of “Ghost Walking,” at the House of Vans in Chicago on February 14th.
“The idea of a collaboration hatched when Willie Adler and I visited a BrewDog bar in Columbus on a tour day off to sample a few pints of their non-alcoholic beer with the brewery team,” LOG vocalist Randy Blythe commented. “Countless bands have done beer collaborations, but we are the world’s first non-alcoholic one. In my not-so-humble opinion, this is the best non-alcoholic beer ever made, PERIOD. It was conceived, designed and first tasted while on tour – music drove it into existence. Right now is a strange time for everyone, but we’re stoked to provide a non-alcoholic option for those who want to have a brew while cranking some tunes safely at home. We hope you enjoy our performance and we will see you on the road as soon as possible.”
BrewDog co-founder James Watt added, “This collaboration is our most epic to date. It is also one of the most important, especially now. BrewDog has always been focused on making other people as passionate about craft beer as we are, and that includes people who, like Randy, don’t want alcohol in their beer. Our AF line of beers offers everyone an alcohol-free alternative for any occasion and we’re thrilled to add Ghost Walker to the lineup.”
