I think it’s so that the brewery won’t have to pay any royalties, or something.
Even if it were not even possible, Geddy would think that way and do whatever he could to make sure it couldn’t happen.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
I think he’s messin with us.
And another one announced.
And more glasses for my bar.
RUSH ANNOUNCE LIMITED EDITION MOVING PITCHERS BEER WITH HENDERSON BREWERY
March 21-2022, Toronto - RUSH and local Toronto, award-winning Henderson Brewery Inc, are excited to reveal the second premium, limited edition beer - MOVING PITCHERS.
After the success of Rush x Henderson Canadian Golden Ale the band felt there was an opportunity to create a more sophisticated, premium beer.
Their first premium limited-edition beer debuted in the winter of 2021 to coincide with the 40th Anniversary of the band's seminal album, Moving PIctures. That now sold-out Moving Pictures holiday beer was a dark, Belgian style ale with Riesling wine must.
The success of the Golden Ale and first limited run spawned further collaboration between the band and Henderson, and now after rigorous taste-testing, a second premium beer has been approved for a special limited run; Moving Pitchers. This time, the winning recipe is a Belgian blonde beer with a Pinot Noir must. The name, a cheeky play on the famous album cover triple entendre, with the bottle's label art designed by longtime Rush art designer Hugh Syme.
“When we started this project, we were really excited to create the perfect after-gig beer but after spending time working with Henderson we discovered so many styles and flavours for more complex, additional products,” remarked Rush guitarist and Beer Scientist, Alex Lifeson.
"We took the taste-testing very seriously," said Geddy Lee, Rush singer/bassist and Beer Drinker, “and picking just one was a tough decision, so we just decided to go with making all of them.”
“The Rush beer planning nights have been among my favourite in my six years at the brewery. Sitting around sampling product with these guys – I mean Rock Hall of Famers who I watched on stage for so many years - has been an absolute thrill. Plus, they bring an incredibly broad palate that comes from wine and spirits appreciation. We are very proud of this beer and think Moving Pitchers will be appreciated by any aficionado," said Steve Himel, GM and co-founder of Henderson Brewery.
The Moving Pitchers beer at 11.9% abv, is a strong ale with fruity notes of berries and grapes with a spicy and floral bouquet to round it out. Aromas of maple syrup add complexity while tannins help to balance out the sweetness.
Moving Pitchers premium beer will begin rolling out March 24th in Ontario and will be across Canada in time to have a cold one while listening to the 40th Anniversary Moving Pictures album re-issue arriving April 15th. USA rollout to begin later in 2022.

11.9 ABV....that is one strong beer.

Yeah that ain't no mowing the lawn beer. That there's a sipper.

Cool that they're doing another one but that sounds like a bit of a bummer to me; stylistically I am a fan of BGSAs, like Duvel, but generally not pushed up to that ABV range. Most of the pinot must additions I've tried haven't really brought anything to the beer but muddy the water so to speak.
Arrived today, but I won’t be able to try them until tomorrow at the earliest.
They threw the wrong shirt into the box. I’ve got the right one on the way.

How did I get here?
I got the proper shirt the other day. :P
I haven’t tried the beer yet, but should in the next couple of days.

I'm glad Geddy is continuing the party. I very rarely drink. If I was going 11.9, I would probably grab a whiskey.
Let me know when Rush comes out with a grapefruit juice. Maybe some whole grain bread to go with it.

It’s got kind of a sweet-sour taste, but not in a bad way.
It’s definitely one to sit and drink over some time.
MOAR BEERSE!
I was near the brewery today so I swung by on my way home and picked up 6 bottles, 2 glasses and a shirt…because I need another dresser for my t-shirts.
Even the box is cool.

Very cool stuff!
I assume the beer is good as well.

Every beer I’ve had from there has been great, and I’ve had a couple of their non-RUSH beers too.
This one is strong and has a first taste of something like a sour, but then is fresh and you can taste the fruit a bit, but it’s still a strong beer.
They also say this is a good one to age. I’ve never really heard that before for a beer, but I’m game.
The label is pretty cool. It has texture. The iridescent text on the side is raised.
They really put some effort into the design.
They will ship to me, but I think I’ll go from now on.
They have a local delivery area even, but I’m way outside that.
They have a ton of beers on tap that are not available for take-home. So, visiting has added benefits.
