In a universe filled with hop monsters and hazy conquests, sometimes the dark side calls.
And this time… it brought backup.
Dark Helmet is back at The Brew Kettle for a special May 4th release, and this small-batch throwback is everything a proper dark lager should be—smooth, balanced, and just roasty enough to keep things interesting without weighing you down.
This isn’t your typical heavy, brooding dark beer. Brewed in the tradition of a German-style black lager (Schwarzbier), Dark Helmet keeps things crisp and clean, with subtle roasted malt notes that whisper instead of shout. It’s the kind of beer that looks intense in the glass but drinks like a lager on a mission—easy, refreshing, and just a little bit sneaky.
Official Description:
A true TBK original, we kick this German-style black lager up a couple notches. Smooth lager taste with a touch of roast and deceptively easy drinking. May the Schwartz be with you!
The timing couldn’t be more perfect. Dropping into our pubs on May 4th, Dark Helmet is our tribute to a certain galaxy far, far away… with just enough parody energy to keep things fun and just enough flavor to keep you ordering another round.
But here’s the catch—this is a small batch release. Once it’s gone, it disappears back into the void.
So whether you’re a longtime fan who’s been waiting for its return, or you’re discovering it for the first time, this is your shot.
👉 In pubs May 4th
👉 Available for a limited time only
👉 Get it while it’s pouring
Because missing this one… would be a disturbance in the force.
