Original Stormtrooper Beer is a licensed beer brand inspired by the iconic armour of the Stormtrooper, first created for the original Star Wars film back in 1977. The brand is produced in partnership with Shepperton Design Studios, the creative house behind the original costume design, lending the range an authentic connection to cinematic history. The company behind the brand is based at Cherwell Business Village in Banbury, England, and operates under an official licence to produce and market the range. The portfolio is brewed in collaboration with quality craft brewers, most notably Vocation Brewery, and spans a range of approachable yet characterful beer styles. Among the flagship offerings is the Galactic Pale Ale, described as a hoppy and aromatic session ale delivering bright citrus flavours, with aromas of grapefruit, pine and herbs followed by a soft bitterness. Another notable beer is the Red Shift, a gluten-free IPA at 5.0% ABV, bursting with notes of citrus fruit, orange, grapefruit, passionfruit and pineapple. Original Stormtrooper Beer has built a growing reputation as a craft-quality, pop-culture beer brand that appeals both to beer enthusiasts and fans of the franchise. Brewed under licence and positioned as a beautifully realised branded beer, the range has risen steadily in popularity, finding its way onto shelves across Europe including the Netherlands.
