Retro Dizzy, the long-running local psychedelic rock ‘n’ roll band, is turning up the volume on their upcoming 10th anniversary as a band with the release of their exclusive beer, Dizzy Ale, in collaboration with Shackleton Brewing Company.
This hop-forward session ale is a vibrant cacophony of tropical flavours, featuring lively notes of grapefruit, peach, and delicious mango. Dizzy Ale is the perfect beer for those seeking a crisp and sessionable experience. With a light orange hue and a dense white head, this beer delivers a full-on sensory experience that mirrors the band’s signature sound – drenched in reverb and packed with energy.
Richard Liefeldt from Retro Dizzy comments on Dizzy Ale
“We wanted to create something special to kick off the celebrations for our 10 years as a band. Dizzy Ale is a fusion of the wildness of the band and Shackleton Brewing Company’s expertise in crafting exceptional beers. It’s a toast to our journey so far and to the many exciting years that lie ahead.”
