Def Leppard/Elysian Pale Ale

Def Leppard and the Elysian Brewing Company have today confirmed the new Pale Ale beer which will launch this summer.

'Def Leppard Pale Ale' is being launched soon in conjunction with the Elysian Brewing Company who based in Seattle.

News of the IPA version was first posted on 19th January on the blog called 'My Beer Buzz' and more details followed.

The beer will be available from 23rd May at the Albany, NY show.

It is being sold at the venue and in the surrounding "restaurants, bars and pubs". It will then be available in "select US cities" during the North American tour.

Watch the short promo video below starring all the band members (including non drinker Phil).

Joe and Sav's scenes were filmed at their respective homes. Joe's bar is named, appropriately enough, "Joe's Bar".

Joe was also interviewed by Billboard about the new drink.

Billboard - Joe Elliott Interview Quotes

"It tastes great - that's the most important thing I can tell you. I would pass on doing an interview about this if I didn't like it. That to me is the most important thing."

"They're great, they're confident, they seem very rock n’ roll and we like that,” Elliott says of working with Elysian. “We like the people we're working with, we like the beverage, and that's a great way to start."

"Some stage down the road, maybe we’d do a wine."
