Badger and A Guy Called Gerald Set to Ignite Captain Morgan Muck Pit Brew Launch

Manchester’s summer is about to heat up on July 20, 2025, when Captain Morgan, the UK’s leading rum brand, introduces Captain Morgan Muck Pit Brew. This isn’t your typical drink—it blends Captain Morgan Spiced Gold with brewed mango and hop flavors, striking a balance between the sharp refreshment of a beer and a spiced rum twist. Leading the charge are Badger and A Guy Called Gerald, two titans of the underground scene. A Guy Called Gerald has been a cornerstone of acid house and jungle since the late ‘80s, his track ‘Voodoo Ray’ still echoing through dance music history. Badger, meanwhile, is the scene’s freshest disruptor, carving out a name with his iconic skills on the deck. Together, they’re set to make this launch a landmark moment.

The brew’s big day kicks off with a fleet of Muck Pit Brew vans crisscrossing Manchester, hitting up spots like Directors Box, Quarter House, and Walkabout. Expect ice-cold samples and live DJ sets from Badger and A Guy Called Gerald as they bring the beats to the streets. The real pulse-pounder comes at Manchester Cathedral, where the duo will lock in for a first-ever B2B set. It’s a free event that brings the energy of acid house together with cutting-edge underground sounds.

[Nin Taank], Marketing Manager at Captain Morgan, had this to say: “Muck Pit Brew draws inspiration from production methods steeped in tradition – it perfectly blends these with current trends for tropical flavours. We wanted to give people something different to drink when out with their friends, and Captain Morgan Muck Pit Brew delivers that by offering a perfectly balanced drink that combines the hop flavours of a beer with the lightness of a spirit.”

With the “Swap My Usual” deal letting punters trade their regular drink for a free pint at select bars, this event is all about breaking the mold—both in taste and tunes.
