"Hallowed" Ale by Iron Maiden & Robinsons
From October through Christmas last year, I was very keen to get my hands on the special limited edition “Hallowed” beer brewed by Robinsons in conjunction with Iron Maiden.
The challenge about the beer, aside from it being limited, was that it was only available in Morrisons stores. I must have visited half a dozen different Morrisons supermarket branches and had my family and friends on the lookout for it in others, before I had to concede defeat.
All was not lost though thanks to my buddy Hughesy because, whilst en route to a Desert Storm gig in Oxford on 25th November, I at least got to try a bottle that he brought down for me from Cheshire.
Today whilst mooching around Rugby (the female Baldwins were shopping and I was killing time), I wandered into B&M and found the hallowed ale on the shelf in the booze section. There were ten bottles on display … I bought all ten. The label at the end of the shelf stated “new line, price awaited” but I took them to the checkout thinking “I don’t really care what they cost”.
All ten bottles came to £10.90.
Ten for ten … bargain!
So, by way of a wrap, in my best Len Goodman voice “It’s a ten for B&M”
