COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
What’s a good angle on a dark autumn beer? We haven’t a clue, so we produced Dark Side. The temperamental artist, who hasn’t got an idea in his head, suddenly remembered that this year was the 30th anniversary of the release of a certain Album by a popular music combo what he was allus rather fond of. –of which he was rather fond, I meant. As an admirer of Hipgnosis, (Aubrey Powell, Peter Christopherson and Storm Thorgerson) who did the original album sleeve, he did this homage using the Abbey Ruin in place of the original prism. Hey, man! They’re releasing the album again - also on vinyl !! Anyway, during a momentary lapse of reason and besieged by small furry animals gathered together in a cafe… meddle wall division bell .. saucerful of moonshine blether. Come over to the Dark Side, Luke.. it’s rather refreshing. Maybe we’ll brew it again for the 40th anniversary.
