Elysian Brewing Partners with Def Leppard For Def Leppard Pale

We brought you an early peek at this beer, and now the full details from Elysian:
NEW YORK, NY  (May 14, 2018) – Two fanatics of their craft, DEF LEPPARD and
ELYSIAN BREWING COMPANY have joined forces to bring you a one-of-a-kind beer,
Def Leppard Pale (6% ABV) — a collision of legendary British ale with Northwest
hops. Set to release in sync with the colossal co-headlined Def Leppard and Journey
tour, Def Leppard Pale will be on sale starting May 23 (the second tour stop at Times

2020 packaging

Union Center in Albany, NY). Available in artistically-designed 16oz cans and on
draught at most Def Leppard concert venues and select restaurants, bars and pubs.

Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott stated, “I love craft beer — it’s the indie side of the beer
industry. You get the rock ’n’ roll and the creative, and it tastes amazing. We can’t
wait for our fans to try it!”

Joe Bisacca, Elysian ​CEO and co-founder stated, “Music has been a part of Elysian
since its inception. We grew up watching Def Leppard music videos in the 80s, and
now, to work and brew beer together is f****** cool.”

At 6% ABV, Def Leppard Pale is a classic amber color with notes of caramel, citrus
and pine. Cascade, Chinook, Simcoe and Magnum hops were used for bittering. Def
Leppard Pale is approachable with a clean finish.

Music has been embedded in Elysian Brewing Company’s soul since its founding in
1996. Both co-founders are music lovers and call the birthplace of grunge, Seattle,
home. From naming the seasonal favorite Superfuzz after a guitar pedal to brewing
Men’s Room Original Red for The Men’s Room Radio Show on 99.9 KISW The Rock of
Seattle, music is engrained in the brewery’s DNA.

For Def Leppard, 2018 represents another milestone as the group unleashes its full
catalog on digital platforms for the very first time and embarks on a massive
worldwide co-headliner tour alongside longtime friends and fellow rock legends,
Journey.
