11/05/26: Modern Vienna Lager - Out Now Read More
Orbit Beers is proud to announce the release of our new Vienna Lager collaboration with legendary British independent record label 4AD.
Created to celebrate 4AD’s April Brixton pop-up store Enclosed in Amber, as well as live performances from Dry Cleaning and Big Thief at London’s Brixton Academy, this limited-edition beer brings together two long-standing passions: great beer and great music.
Orbit Beers have been fans of 4AD for many years. Our much-loved Pale Ale IVO is named after 4AD founder Ivo Watts-Russell, whose influence helped shape one of the most important independent labels in British music history, with acts ranging from Pixies and Cocteau Twins, to more recently, Dry Cleaning, Aldous Harding, Andrian Lenker, and Big Thief.
This new collaboration continues that connection with a beer inspired by creativity, independence and a willingness to reinterpret tradition.
Our new Vienna Lager starts with a base of Vienna malt, delivering flavours of:
- Toasted malt
- Biscuit
- Light caramel sweetness
We then fermented the beer with the new SH-45 lager yeast, chosen to enhance and esterify the fruitier side of the hop profile.
Cascade and Hallertau Blanc hops bring lifted aromas of:
- Citrus zest
- White grape
- Vinous character
The finish is clean, crisp and pleasantly bitter, making this an incredibly drinkable lager with added aromatic depth.
This beer drinks with the lightness and refreshment of a classic lager, while offering the expressive aromas and complexities you might associate with an amber ale.
It’s a beer designed for music fans, lager or ale lovers, and anyone looking for something a little different.
