Nightbreed

An intriguing dark copper colour Vienna lager with a soft and elegant toasty malt character balanced by firm hop bitterness and dry, crisp finish. Like a dark fantasy beyond the beautiful or the monstrous or their sum. The tribes of the moon embrace you!

This is our second and final tribute to the masterwork of the English horror fiction author Clive Barker.

The name of the label is after the film “Nightbreed” [1990] by Clive Barker, based on his novella “Cabal” [1988].

The visual concept is inspired by the genuine and unique Clive Barker’s imagery – the fusion of the horror fiction and the fantastique (dark fantasy).

The aesthetics are inspired by the illustration style of the conceptual artwork for the film “Nightbreed” by the American artist Ralph McQuarrie [1929-2012].

The label features three characters of the film; Baphomet as main character, Peloquin and Dr. Decker as secondary characters in the fictional place Midian. These latter stands for the antagonist world: The Nightbreed - the Monsters (i.e. Horror fiction of 17th-19th century) versus the Serial Killer (i.e. Horror fiction of 20th century). The aspect of Baphomet is in line with Jonathan Hultén’s (our artist) conception of this character based on the novella “Cabal” – “Hard to comprehend of what one is looking at, so unearthly that one would go mad by experience it. His unfathomable nature of divinity expresses itself in a dreamlike visual mood and appearance”.
