Siren Craft Brew Unveils Predator-Inspired Beer, Soundwave: First Hunt

The hunt for the ultimate beer begins today as Berkshire-based independent brewery Siren Craft Brew releases Soundwave: First Hunt, a limited-edition IPA created to celebrate the launch of Predator: Badlands, now playing in cinemas.

Inspired by the franchise’s iconic spirit of survival and the tagline “First Hunt. Last Chance,” Soundwave: First Hunt offers a bold twist on Siren’s flagship IPA, featuring a tropical flavour profile and an innovative mix of hops that make it ideal for movie night. The beer is described as approachable yet adventurous, with a 5% ABV and layers of flavour designed to evoke the thrill of the chase.

For the first time in the brand’s history, Siren’s mythical mascot has been replaced by a specially commissioned Predator-inspired design, uniting craft beer culture with one of sci-fi’s most enduring icons. The bespoke artwork places the Yautja hunter front and centre, marking the collaboration between 20th Century Studios and the award-winning British brewery as one of the most creative crossovers of the year.

Siren Craft Brew founder Darron Anley said his team “jumped at the chance” to partner with Predator: Badlands. A lifelong fan of the franchise, Anley called it a “privilege” to craft a beer that pays homage to Dan Trachtenberg’s latest film, which reimagines the Predator mythos with a focus on the alien warrior’s culture and code of honour.

Head of Marketing Andy Nowlan added that the beer aims to reach both beer enthusiasts and moviegoers. “Soundwave: First Hunt brings our flagship beer to a whole new audience,” he said, noting that it is available in cans and on tap across selected venues, including MEATliquor, Brewhouse & Kitchen and The Light Cinemas.

The beer is available now in 440ml cans and limited-edition gift packs through sirencraftbrew.com and Siren venues nationwide. Designed to complement the cinematic experience, Soundwave: First Hunt can also be enjoyed at partner locations screening Predator: Badlands throughout November.

Since its founding in 2013, Siren Craft Brew has become one of the UK’s most respected independent breweries, known for its creative approach to modern beer-making and its devotion to flavour. Its mythology-inspired branding draws on tales of the sirens, whose irresistible song mirrors the brewery’s goal to captivate drinkers through layers of complexity and craft.

Meanwhile, Predator: Badlands, starring Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, sees a young Yautja outcast forge an alliance with a damaged robot on a deadly planet. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg, the film is the latest addition to the legendary franchise, expanding its universe into new and unexpected territory.

With Soundwave: First Hunt, Siren has given fans another way to celebrate the return of cinema’s most formidable hunter. Whether enjoyed before the film or after the credits roll, this collaboration offers a taste of adventure worthy of the Predator himself.
