Hold Steady singer Craig Finn gets his own beer

by Tyler Munro

Following in the footsteps of Clutch, Deltron 3030 and…Hanson, the Hold Steady’s Craig Finn has announced that he’s getting his own beer.

Named Clear Heart after Finn’s Clear Heart Full Eyes solo album, the beer is described as a full-bodied golden brew with “citrus notes.”

Pitchfork reports that Clear Heart is a collaboration between Finn and East London’s Signature Brew, which specializes in partnerships such as this.

“When I set out to make this beer, I was going for something with a clear taste and a full flavour. Instead I got a pretty decent buzz,” said Finn. “We had a great time creating this beer and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.”

The beer launches later this month in London and is expected to be out in select retailers (and online…since buying beer online is apparently a thing people do.)
