Steelhouse Festival is making campsite life a whole lot easier — and a whole lot louder — with the chance to pre-order official Motörhead beers ahead of Steelhouse XV.
Rather than cramming the car full of crates, dragging warm cans across the site and nearly putting your back out before the first band has even hit the stage, festival-goers can order their beer in advance and collect it chilled during the event.
Cold beer. Huge riffs. A mountain full of rock fans. Proper job, mun. 🍻🏔️
Motörhead Beers on the Mountain
Fans can choose from three different Motörhead brews, each inspired by the legendary band’s music and unmistakable rock ’n’ roll attitude.
Road Crew American Pale Ale
Road Crew is a 5.0% ABV American Pale Ale named after Motörhead’s classic anthem celebrating the hardworking crews behind the scenes.
It feels like the perfect Steelhouse campsite beer: bold, refreshing and made for raising in tribute to the people building stages, moving gear and keeping the festival machine running.
Overkill Pilsner
Overkill is a 4.3% ABV pilsner carrying the name of one of Motörhead’s most iconic albums and songs.
It is the sort of beer made for a sunny afternoon at the campsite, surrounded by battle jackets, folding chairs and somebody playing air guitar far too enthusiastically before midday.
Dancing With The Devil Stout
For fans who prefer something darker, Dancing With The Devil is a 4.2% ABV stout brewed by Camerons.
With its striking playing-card design and unmistakable Motörhead branding, it looks built for those cooler evenings when the sun drops behind the mountain and the campsite turns into one giant rock ’n’ roll gathering.
Pre-Order and Collect During the Festival
The big bonus is convenience.
Fans can pre-order their chosen beers before the festival, with the drinks being kept cool and ready to collect during the event.
That means less luggage, fewer heavy crates and no more opening a can that has spent six hours slowly cooking in the boot of the car.
Anyone who has ever carried camping gear from a festival car park knows how quickly a “short walk” turns into a full expedition. Between the tent, sleeping bag, chair, waterproofs, boots and enough snacks to survive an apocalypse, removing a crate of beer from the journey is a glorious little victory.
A Perfect Match for Steelhouse
Motörhead and Steelhouse feel like a natural pairing.
Steelhouse has built its reputation on proper live rock music, passionate crowds and one of the most spectacular festival settings in the UK. High above the South Wales valleys, the festival brings together fans who care about riffs, community and having a cracking weekend with their mates.
Motörhead represented that same spirit: loud, honest, uncompromising and completely dedicated to rock ’n’ roll.
There is something beautifully fitting about cracking open a cold Overkill, Road Crew or Dancing With The Devil while guitars thunder across a Welsh mountain.
Less Carrying, More Rocking
Festival arrival day can be brutal.
You start with confidence, carrying several bags at once because you refuse to make two trips. Ten minutes later, your fingers have lost all circulation, the chair is hitting you in the knees and somebody is asking whether you remembered the tent pegs.
Pre-ordering campsite beer removes one of the heaviest items from that chaos.
It also leaves more room in the car for genuinely important festival supplies, including dry socks, waterproofs, sun cream and the emergency Greggs haul that definitely will not survive the first evening.
Which Motörhead Beer Are You Choosing?
The only difficult part is deciding which one to open first.
Will you go for the bold Road Crew American Pale Ale, the crisp Overkill Pilsner or the darker Dancing With The Devil Stout?
The obvious rock festival answer is to sample the full trio across the weekend — sensibly, of course. Nobody wants to sleep through the headline set after attempting an unofficial Motörhead tasting session at breakfast.
Steelhouse XV Is Calling
Steelhouse has always been about more than the bands.
It is about meeting old friends, making new ones, sharing campsite stories and watching brilliant live music surrounded by some of the finest scenery Wales has to offer.
The addition of pre-ordered, chilled Motörhead beer is another cracking touch for fans heading to the festival.
So pack the tent, dust off the battle jacket and prepare to rock the mountain.
The riffs will be loud, the campsite will be buzzing and, thanks to Steelhouse, the beer should be properly cold. 🍺🔥
Rock the mountain. Raise a can. Celebrate Motörhead.
