With Leppard on hiatus this year, Elliott developed his one-off Mott The Hoople tribute band - Down ‘N’ Outz – into a full album.
Now, Joe takes his side project in a different direction, with the launch of “Down ‘N’ Outz” beer this Wednesday (15) in Dublin.
Down ‘N’ Outz beer is described as "a pilsner style" that has "a deep, rich malt character, with generous hop bitterness". It will be brewed and bottled by The Porterhouse Brewing Company, a small chain with pubs in Ireland and the U.K.
"Over the years I've noticed a lot of musicians putting their names to a variety of wines etc which, as nice as a glass of red or white is, well, it's not very rock and roll is it?!,” said Elliott. "Beer or lager seem to be the drink of choice at nearly every gig I've ever played, or attended, so for me it's a much cooler thing to do, and having seen how The Porterhouse put quality over quantity, I'm extremely happy to get involved with Oliver (Hughes, co-founder) and his gang."
The launch takes place on Wednesday, 15 September at The Porterhouse North Rock Garden in Glasnevin (Dublin).
