Brewery celebrates founding year with Sci-fi beers
Somerset-based brewery Butcombe Brewing Company are celebrating its founding year, 1978, with the release of two Science-fiction inspired beers.
Invader’s packaging is inspired by the classic arcade game Space Invaders that was released in 1978. Its second beer, Forty Two, takes inspiration from radio comedy The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy – released in the same year.
“We created our 1978 Range in homage to the year of our birth. These new beers give us a chance to be creative and experiment with brewing outside of our classic range,” said Butcombe.
“Invader and Forty Two will allow us to access new markets and showcase our craft credentials and we’re sure these beers will be as successful as the cultural classics that inspired them.”
