The Menstrual Cramps Declare “Class War” With New Single & Craft Beer

Bristol, UK’s The Menstrual Cramps have released their new single, Class War, that is accompanied by a craft beer of the same name. The band have partnered up with Manchester based, DIY, vegan friendly, nano-brewery Courier Brewing Company for the release of their own beer. The beer is a vegan session pale ale, bright and piney with hints of orange peel, an assertive bitterness and a dry refreshing finish. The beer is being sold directly to suppliers and venues who can purchase it here, it is also raising money for charity with 50p per pint from every keg sold being donated to akt, a charity that helps LGBTQ+ young people find safety and security, by providing pathways into safe housing, access to social support and assisting with routes into training and employment.

“Class War is about the importance of joining a union and holding your workplace and peers to account. Workers rights are being taken away from us at an alarming rate, and the best way to combat this is with collective bargaining and activism. It also comments on unions largely being controlled by old white men, and the push needed to move away from this. Women’s rights are workers rights. Always support strikers, and never cross a picket line!” (vocalist Emilia Elfrida)

The band will be appearing at The Great Escape Festival, Truck Festival and Bearded Theory Festival later this year as well as their own UK headline dates, alongside appearances at Manchester Punk Festival, Outer Town Festival, and 2000 Trees Festival, with further live dates and festival appearances to be announced.
