1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Does Rush make a good beer? Will it be the Permanent Waves of beer -- full-bodied, proggy and tasty? Or will it be like Hold Your Fire -- light and fizzy? We'll find out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymaker Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I live not too far from an LCBO (liquor store) that sells craft beer. I'm hoping they get some in! This may mean, of course, that I'm just one of those people who will buy anything with "Rush" on it somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddyleegenes Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Rush Canadian Golden Ale coming out soon? Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop drinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Freeze Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) Do they really need to do this?.........I know it can't be a simple money grab ;) ......I always gotta laugh when these products come out and use recognizable celebs.......the ten hundredother brands are all indistinguishable from each other......people fall for it every time. Geddy and Al could be doing "other things" for all of this ;) Edited August 19, 2021 by Mr Freeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushFanForever Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) Do they really need to do this?.........I know it can't be a simple money grab ;) The blame goes to the individual who gave Geddy the Robinson's "Iron Maiden -Trooper" beer. That's when the wheels started turning for the Rush beer. It's the same scenario where someone approached Geddy of swapping a vintage 1953 Fender Precision bass with one of the older basses he had. That's when the wheels started turning for his collecting of vintage bass guitars and the book Big Beautiful Book of Bass.

Weatherman Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Does Rush make a good beer? Will it be the Permanent Waves of beer -- full-bodied, proggy and tasty? Or will it be like Hold Your Fire -- light and fizzy? We'll find out.Ged's bass sound over the years would make a good beer analogy.1970s -- fat, thick, dark bottom end = imperial stout1980s -- thin, poppy, effervescent = pilsner1990s -- normal, reliable, no surprises anymore, an old friend = ale 2000s -- ????

Bahamas Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) In Ontario (Toronto) liquor is very controlled.The LCBO is said to be one of the largest purchasers in the world and we are limited to certain locations, at certain times of the day.Only in the last few years have supermarkets and some other locations been allowed to sell beer and wine. No spirits. I am not a beer lover but will certainly try this brew when I can.I don't mind marketing mish-mashes like this, it's fun, topical and a great way to offer a tribute to the band. And beer has a bit of history with the band (or at least Geddy) from the very old Bob and Doug McKenzie skits.Geddy sang "Take off to the Great White North, take off, it's a beauty way to go!" It was so silly but we all loved singing the jingle. The comedy duo always had beer on hand. And toques. Toques...I say! It's all so very Canadian and all so silly - but it looks like a serious project with a great recipe. I like it.

It reminded me of a Guitar Player interview with Pat from the mid 80's. The interviewer asked him if he'd heard anything interesting or good from any guitar players lately. And I was expecting him to reel off some heavy jazz names like John Scofield or someone like that, but instead he said he really liked this thing from Vivian Campbell from Dio!
