Siren’s Alien-Inspired Brew Invades, Unleashing the Taste of Romulus

Check out the latest exciting collaboration that bridges the worlds of craft beer and sci-fi cinema… Siren Craft Brew has unveiled its newest creation, “Something In The Water,” a limited-edition red berry sour beer inspired by 20th Century Studios’ highly anticipated film, Alien: Romulus. The film is set to hit cinemas on August 16, and the beer will be available at selected outlets too. This special brew is already making waves in the UK, capturing the attention of both beer connoisseurs and fans of the iconic Alien franchise.

“Something In The Water” is a tangy, fruit-forward sour beer crafted with a generous blend of cherries and red berries, delivering a refreshing burst of sweet and sour flavours that mirror the intense, otherworldly themes of Alien: Romulus. The beer’s name, inspired by a line from the movie’s trailer, evokes the eerie and suspenseful atmosphere that fans have come to expect from the Alien series.

Darron Anley, the founder of Siren Craft Brew, expressed his excitement about the project, saying, “Alien is my favourite film franchise of all time—I’ve even named all of my dogs after characters from the movies—so being able to work on this beer in collaboration with the latest release is a real honour. I love how Fede Alvarez has approached Alien: Romulus with a love for the franchise, respect for the canon, and a hands-on, DIY process to the filmmaking. Not only does this resonate with Siren in ethos, the bright red, acidic beer works perfectly with the themes of the film.”

Siren Craft Brew’s head of marketing, Andy Nowlan, added, “Siren is known for adventurous beers and collaborations, but this one is particularly special. Being trusted to celebrate an iconic franchise is amazing for a small, independent brewery like ours. We can’t wait for everyone to see these beautiful cans and enjoy a refreshing sour beer this summer.”

In addition to the beer release, Siren Craft Brew is hosting a special screening of Alien: Romulus at The Biscuit Factory, an independent cinema in Reading, on Friday, August 23. Fans of the franchise and craft beer lovers alike can enjoy the film with a cold can of “Something In The Water” in hand, making for an unforgettable experience.

“Something In The Water” is available now in 440ml cans from Siren Craft Brew’s website and at their venues in Finchampstead and Reading town centre. You can also find it in select independent pubs, bottle shops, and cinemas across the UK. With its eye-catching poster artwork and individually numbered cans, this beer is as much a collector’s item as it is a refreshing summer drink.

This collaboration between Siren Craft Brew and 20th Century Studios marks a unique moment where the worlds of film and craft beer collide, creating an experience that fans won’t want to miss. As Alien: Romulus prepares to terrify audiences, “Something In The Water” offers a taste of the suspense and excitement to come.
