Tankard announce re-release of ‘The Beauty And The Beer’ and ‘Thirst’

After the successful re-releases of “Kings Of Beer”, “Disco Destroyer” and “Himbeergeist Zum Frühstück” in 2024, Reaper Entertainment proudly continues the exclusive Tankard reissue series: this December 2025, the Frankfurt thrash legends unleash two more cult albums – “The Beauty And The Beer” and “Thirst” – newly reissued on vinyl and CD.

Both albums have once again been carefully remastered by Alexander Ecker at Pearlsound Studio and shine in brand-new artwork created by Kai Brockschmidt.

These editions are strictly limited:

• 500 copies on premium colored vinyl in a stunning sunburst effect
• 500 copies on classic jewelcase CD

The release date is set for December 5th, 2025. Pre-orders via the official Tankard shop (www.tankard.store) are already live, and starting October 3rd, 2025, the albums will also be available for pre-order from all other retailers.

With these reissues, fans get the chance to rediscover two more highlights from the Tankard discography in a top-notch presentation – thrash metal in its purest form! 

Tankard frontman Gerre comments:

Finally, after the CM albums, the AFM era albums are becoming available again! Our label Reaper Entertainment has spared no expense and effort, giving them classy new covers by Kai Brockschmidt and remastering the whole thing as well! At least in my collection, these reissues are an absolute must-have…
