He was one of the biggest pop icons of the 80s, but now Rick Astley is planning to brew up a different kind of storm with his own brand of beer!
“I enjoy a beer with friends and I’m hoping to sell my own brand soon. I’ve been working with the Mikkeller brewery in Copenhagen, which was founded ten years ago by a teacher who made his own beer at home,” he said.
“Mikkeller beer is quite experimental and they’ve been sending me various bottles to sample. Some are quite fruity – one was a pear beer they make for a restaurant, but we’ve gone for a pilsner type lager.”
He added in an interview with the Mirror newspaper, “All I need now is a name for it.”
What’s the odds on him using one of his own chart-topping singles from the '80s in the advertisement for his beer?
