Blood Youth Launch Their ‘Visions of Another Ale’ in Collaboration with Northern Monk

Contemporary metal four-piece Blood Youth have announced their collaboration with the Northern Monkey Brewery. To celebrate, the band will be playing a special intimate show at the Brewery in Leeds on Thursday 25th November, alongside a set from the Slam Dunk DJs.

The band are also announcing the production of their own IPA, ‘Visions of Another Ale’, which will aim to reflect the mood of the band’s recent, highly acclaimed surprise album Visions of Another Hell.

Speaking on the collaboration, Northern Monk say: “Northern Monk and Blood Youth were born at a similar time in a similar place. We made beer, Blood Youth made music… In 2021 our journeys have been given the opportunity to unite again. Building on a history of celebrating the best of the North’s rock and metal scene, we’re delighted to welcome them to the Patrons Projects series, taking the gold edition of our Northern sounds project. The resulting beer is a heavily hopped, tropical, Imperial Black IPA. A fitting tribute. Not just celebrating with a beer, we’re stoked to welcome the band to play at our home and original brewery on the 25th of November.”

Chris Pritchard, Blood Youth guitarist, adds: “I never actually thought we’d ever have our own beer, and thanks to Northern Monk we can now tick that off the list. We’ve been working closely with the beer scientists behind the company coming up with unique ideas and our own creative spin on what we think represents the dynamics of the band, and also across our new album Visions Of Another Hell. There’s a lot of evil, a lot of negativities. But without the negative, there will never be a positive. So, we made the creative decision to make this IPA the blackest of the black but bringing everything back up with the tropical/pineapple aromas. We discussed a few different approaches but after months of going back and forth, we finally created something beautifully evil. Behold, the first Blood Youth beer. Our Visions Of Another Ale. Drink responsibly.”

Tickets for the band’s intimate show at the brewery in Leeds are out now and can be purchased here. However, tickets are free for anyone who pre-orders a physical copy of Blood Youth’s new album Visions of Another Hell, which can be purchased here.
