John
Franck SVP of Marketing for
Razor & Tie comments, “The
Sword have created a remarkable album that
everyone here at Razor &Tie is proud to be
associated with. We congratulate the band
and their entire team on this impressive
debut.”
The
Sword has also expanded their branding
activities which started this summer with the
release of “the Tears of Fire” hot sauce, by
partnering with Baltimore Maryland based brewery
Oliver Ales to introduce “Winter’s
Wolves Beer.” Steve Jones, brew master
at Oliver Ales, says the following regarding the
beer:
“Winter’s
Wolves is hand crafted in 7 bbl batches from the
finest pale, crystal and roasted malts with the
addition of a little clover honey and Scottish
Heather Tips and generously bittered with
American Chinook and English First Gold hops and
finished with American Centennial and English
Kent Goldings hops. Each batch is open fermented
with English Ale Yeast and aged with toasted
American White Oak ... a Heavy Metal Ale
weighing in at a little over 7% abv. We are
proud to partner with The Sword to produce this
ale year round in keg and cask. Listen to great
music, drink craft beer!”
The
beer will currently be available in pubs
throughout Maryland, Washington D.C, and
northern Virginia. Future distribution will be
announced. Here is the artwork for the
brew tap:
The
Sword is currently on a 40 date North America
