To celebrate the release of the forthcoming album Key to a Thousand Doors, Paralex have commissioned a special one-off beer called ‘Paralyzed’.

The beer, a 7.4% ABV American Double IPA brewed by John at the superb North Riding Brewpub whilst listening to Slayer, Slipknot and Sabbath, will have the strength of a herd of stampeding wildebeest trying to avoid a bunch of ravenous crocodiles and will be limited to only 6 casks (about 400 pints) and 72 bottles. It will be best drunk listening to metal played at maximum volume in a de-tuned drop C, but beware – drinking too much of this brew will cause your ears to bleed, your brain explode and your nob to fall off. Probably.
