Craig Finn Beer: 'Clear Heart' Becomes Hold Steady Frontman's First Brew

Craig Finn, master of storytelling and genius of booze, has linked with a company called Signature Brew to craft his own brand of beer. The beer will be entitled 'Clear Heart,' presumably after his solo album 'Clear Heart, Full Eyes.' We assume that after knocking back a couple of these bad boys you will operate with a clear heart and blurry eyes, and upon waking, you will rise with a heavy heart and similarly blurry eyes.

The Hold Steady frontman announced in a statement, "When I set out to make this beer, I was going for something with a clear taste and a full flavor. Instead I got a pretty decent buzz. We had a great time creating this beer and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Enjoy!"

And enjoy we will. This beer (like most beers) will help boys and girls in America have a rad time together, instead of a sad time together; it will help them build up a positive rage; and as the night wanes, hopefully it will help them to stay positive. NME reports the beer has "a melody of bitterness and citrus notes, the fresh hops and malted barley are in harmony within this golden brew, a full-bodied taste with an easy finish."

The beer will be launched March 19, at the Signature Brew Pub in London.
