BrewDog has teamed up Lamb of God, a best-selling metal band from Richmond Virginia, to produce the world’s first non-alcoholic beer collaboration.

The beer, Ghost Walker, was brewed and canned at BrewDog’s Columbus Ohio brewery.

It’s named after one of the band’s most popular songs, “Ghost Walking,” from their 2012 album Resolution. Lamb of God vocalist, Randy Blythe, wrote the lyrics as he started his journey toward an alcohol-free lifestyle.

Blythe’s introduction to BrewDog started while traveling in Scotland. He sampled Nanny State at a Scottish pub and was “blown away”. Thinking that it must have contained alcohol, he tried to send it back to the bartender.

“Randy was hyped to be told it was truly alcohol-free, likening the flavour to classic American IPAs he used to drink,” said BrewDog.

On a night off between gigs in 2019, the band visited BrewDog Franlinkton, shared a few non-alcoholic pints with the staff, and the idea behind Ghost Walker was born.

He then joined the brewing team to help choose the hop profile that makes up the brew. From beginning to end, this AF recipe was a true meeting of the minds.

Ghost Walker rocks a hop-forward flavour, containing less than 0.5% alcohol.

They said: “Tropical aromas harmonize with grassy, pine notes, all sitting on a solid malt baseline, proving that non-alcoholic beer can taste just as good.

“It provides non-drinkers, and people who may want a beer, but not the alcohol, a quality craft beverage option. And that’s what we want to do at BrewDog – provide quality craft beer, no matter the alcohol content.”
