If you’re still searching for the perfect drink to enjoy whilst headbanging on your couch to the upcoming Ωmega Alive release, look no further! Together with the renowned Belgian craft beer brewery Kazematten, symphonic metal titans Epica have created a their own Epica Beer that is now available at: https://kazematten.be/en/beers/epica

Guitarist Isaac Delahaye comments the new partnership:
“Being born and raised in Ypres (Belgium), and having seen the rich history of Belgian craft beers, I didn’t have to think twice before accepting the proposal from my hometown brewery to create a custom Epica lager beer. Together with the team at Kazematten, who have been perfecting the recipe with passion, knowhow and tremendous craftsmanship for the last 18 months, we came up with this easy to drink and unbelievably smooth 5.4% beer. Tasting the final result sure put a smile on the faces of everyone in the band, and we all quickly grabbed another one.”

Just like the band itself, Epica Beer is a great combination of very different flavours. The unmistakable biscuit malt backbone, supported by an irresistible touch of honey, alternates with lovely citrus notes and a spiciness that packs a punch. With just the right amount of hoppy bitterness, Epica has a well-balanced, refreshing taste that pairs nicely with a burger, hot wings or a pizza!

Just recently, Epica announced the release of their Ωmega Alive streaming event. Brought to life by 75 artists and crew members, the larger-than-life-show will be released on December 3rd and comes with tailor-made videos and graphic effects, spectacular pyro effects, rain, dancers, choirs and actors.
