“I enjoy a beer with friends and I’m hoping to sell my own brand soon,” Astley said.
“I’ve been working with the Mikkeller brewery in Copenhagen, which was founded ten years ago by a teacher who made his own beer at home. Mikkeller beer is quite experimental and they’ve been sending me various bottles to sample. ”
The singer explained that the brewery has a variety with ales with some being “quite fruity – one was a pear beer they make for a restaurant. ” His own beer is reportedly a fruity tasting pilsner.
Astley is just one of many famous faces who have tried their luck in the spirits industry.
