British rock band Iron Maiden have partnered with Robinsons Brewery to create an English ale, Light Brigade, in support of Help For Heroes, following on from the band's Trooper Beer which launched five years ago.

6p from each pint and 5p from each bottle sold will be donated toward the military charity, and the band's frontman Bruce Dickinson commented 'I have been an instructor on several of British Airways’ flight simulator "Flying Heroes" days for Help For Heroes veterans, so I know the charity and the work that they do well. Light Brigade is our interpretation of a golden ale that maintains the elements of strength and character that are the essence of Trooper but at a more sessionable level. In fact, the two beers complement each other very well'.
