If a party ain’t a party without beer and rock ‘n’ roll, then beer brewed by, for & about rock ‘n’ rollers is practically a party in a keg, bottle, can or case!

Iron Maiden beer? Excellent! Bill & Ted references aside, TROOPER is a premium ale inspired by the legendary British heavy metal band and handcrafted at Robinsons brewery in Stockport, UK. “I’m a lifelong fan of traditional English ale;” explains Bruce Dickinson, Iron Maiden’s lead vocalist. “I thought I’d died and gone to heaven when we were asked to create our own beer.”

Dickenson, a real ale enthusiast in his spare time, visited Robinson’s a number of times during the ale’s development period. “Their magic has been to create the alchemical wedding of flavour and texture that is TROOPER,” enthuses Dickenson. “I love it.”

According to the product page at the Robinson website, TROOPER ale exhibits “malt flavours and citric notes from a unique blend of Bobec, Goldings and Cascade hops (that) dominate this deep golden ale, with a subtle hint of lemon.” TROOPER’s distinctive label features a unique version of band mascot Eddie decked out in a tattered Crimean War uniform, evoking Iron Maiden’s song TROOPER from which the ale got its name.

Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew beer from renowned craft brewer Dogfish Head was released in June of 2010 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Miles Davis’ seminal album of the same name. According to the reverent brewer, limited edition Bitches Brew is “a bold, dark beer that’s a fusion of three threads imperial stout and one thread honey beer with gesho root, a gustatory analog to Miles’ masterpiece.”

Bottles of the 9% ABV beer feature the 1970 album’s iconic artwork created by the late Mati Klarwein. Delaware-based Dogfish Head introduced Bitches Brew during “SAVOR, An American Craft Beer & Food Experience,” held at the National Building Museum in Washington DC on June 5th, 2010. Two 40th anniversary editions of Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew were produced: a Legacy Edition and a deluxe Collector’s Edition.

Gene Simmons has earned a legendary reputation as a relentless merchandizing machine so it’s no surprise he’s branded beer with the familiar KISS iconography. It’s not even a surprise he’s done it twice, the first time being in 1996 when cans of KISS pilsner were produced in the Czech Republic to help promote the band’s ALIVE/WORLDWIDE tour concerts in Prague.

This time, however, the band is aiming for world drinking domination on two fronts: beer and wine. Released in 2010, Kiss Destroyer Beer is a German-style brew (that’s made in Sweden) available in cans and bottles. Along with the beer, KISS is also releasing Kiss Zin Fire wine, because the KISS Army is evidently exploring more mature tastes these days. “This isn’t just something we put a label on. We wanted wine and beer unique to KISS and we got it,” explains band guitarist (and non-drinker) Paul Stanley. “This stuff will set your taste buds on fire.” Or so he’s been told.

Film lovers unite!
This tutorial will give you the power to recreate a tiny 35mm film canister into a larger-than-life reminder of the good ol’ days.
Use it as a prop for photos, store unused rolls of film and other camera related goodies, or just make yourself feel really small!
This film canister will hold more than you ever thought could fit onto a 24-exposure roll.
Make a Giant Roll of Film!

Imagine what kind of photographs you could make if this was an actual roll of film.
Talk about the big picture!
Leave the handle on it and use it to transport props to and from your photo shoots.
Or use it as a prop in an Alice in WonderCameraland scenario.
It can be an awesome way to organize your photos or store your film and batteries. Camera bags, lenses, harddrives…you can fit it all into this 35mm container.
No matter what you put inside, this is one roll of film that’s pretty darn functional.
Get these at the Craft Store:
First, prep all your surfaces.
Remove the handle from the bucket. Lay the bucket, lid, and PVC pipe outside on a tarp.
Give it a good coat of primer. This will make the painting steps easier, an ensure your paint will bond with the plastic surface.
Let it dry completely.
TIP: When picking out spray paint, make sure you choose one that will adhere to plastic. Most will say this on the bottle.
Use your magic wand large brush and put a coat of yellow-gold paint on the entire bucket.
Once dry, put a second coat on for a more even and consistent look.
TIP: Take your roll of film with you to the paint supply store. We found a paint chip that was almost identical to the color of our film canister. The 8-ounce sample size was just the right amount of paint for this project.
While you’re waiting for the canister to dry, coat the bucket, lid and PVC pipe with a solid layer of black spray paint.
This will become the top portion of the film canister and film spool.
Let it dry. Check back and see if you need a second coat.
Recreate the side tab that allows the film to move in and out of the canister.
We found a rubber garage door bottom to be easiest to work with. You should be able to find this at your local hardware store.
Measure the length of the bucket, and cut two pieces of equal lengths.
Use epoxy to glue the pieces together, back to back, with the short and long edges mirroring each other.
Use clamps to hold the pieces tight while the epoxy cures. This epoxy takes about 5 minutes to fully cure.
Once the two pieces of weather stripping have been sealed together, attach them to your main film canister bucket.
There are two sides to your strip. One has a longer, sloping side. The other is short and more squared off. Place the long slope against the bucket for a gradual transition between the materials.
Using epoxy on the longer side, press it into place against the bucket. Clamp the ends to the bucket to add pressure while the epoxy is curing.
TIP: Cut two slits in the weather stripping to allow it to fit tighter over the grooves on the bucket.
When the epoxy is dry, remove the clamps and paint the outer edges with the yellow/gold paint to blend it with the main canister.
TIP: You may need three coats to cover up the dark black of the weather stripping.
Center the painted PVC pipe on the bucket lid.
Use epoxy to attach these two pieces together.
When it has dried, put the lid on the bucket. It’s starting to come together now.
Measure the amount of black edge on the lid.
Use blue tape to mask off the same amount of space on the bottom of the canister.
Paint the bottom black to recreate the bottom of the roll of film.
Now it’s time to put on the finishing touches. Accuracy can be great, but don’t be afraid to make your film unique.
Stencil letters, or hand draw them with pencil. Paint on all your film markings using acrylic paint.
Don’t forget about the silver codes on the back side.
Once you are sure everything is dry, take your film back outside to your tarp.
Give it a coat of clear gloss to protect it and add some sheen.
The last detail this canister needs is a piece of film. Use your pencil and Xacto to cut out squares on the top and bottom of the film tongue.
Put a little glue on the end, and slide it into the slot between your two weather strip pieces.
TA-DA!
Just like that, you’ve turned a tiny roll of film into a gigantic one!
