Loud heritage. Crisp refreshment. Rock 'n' roll in a glass.
Inspired by Motörhead's legendary 1979 album Overkill, this Czech-style Pilsner is a collaboration between Camerons Brewery and one of the most influential bands in rock history. Just like the album that gave it its name, the beer is bold, uncompromising, and packed with character, while remaining remarkably balanced and incredibly easy to drink.
Rather than creating an extreme craft beer, Camerons chose to honour the band's spirit through a timeless lager style. Brewed on the foundations of a traditional Czech Pilsner, Overkill combines a solid malt backbone with carefully selected late hop additions of Styrian Wolf hops, adding subtle fruity notes without sacrificing the crisp, clean profile that defines the style. The result is refreshing, satisfying, and finished with just enough bite to live up to its iconic name.
For beer lovers in Ireland, Overkill offers more than just striking artwork. It's a genuinely well-crafted pilsner that appeals equally to Motörhead fans and those simply looking for an authentic, flavourful lager. Whether you're spinning vinyl, firing up the barbecue, or enjoying a relaxed evening with friends, this is a beer that delivers classic refreshment with unmistakable rock 'n' roll attitude.
Why we love it:
Overkill perfectly captures the balance between tradition and personality. It respects the clean, refreshing nature of a Czech-style pilsner while introducing a gentle fruity lift from the Styrian Wolf hops. The result is a beer that's crisp enough for easy drinking yet interesting enough to keep craft beer enthusiasts engaged. The Motörhead connection makes it instantly collectible, but it's the quality of the beer itself that keeps you coming back for another can.
