Metal Band Brews

FFF did one with Cannibal Corpse called Amber Smashed Face once. It was a decent brew. Alex Webster is a god.

 

In my opinion there should be more singer/songwriter collaborations

 

Enjoyed that one.

Did not enjoy that one.

 

Cliff Williams of AC/DC brewed this beer with Wicked Weed right after he retired in 2016. It was available on draft at Wicked Weeds brewery. Supposedly he brews his own beers.

Ninkasi has their Sleigh'r winter seasonal. The beer is just OK to me.

 

I listen to metal while I brew does that count?

 

Clutch (one of my favorite bands) collaborated twice with New Belgium for their Lips of Faith series.

 

They take care of the yeast scream for you, right?

 

Three Floyd's and Obituary did their Hopped in Half that I wanted to try but never got around to it. They brought a keg of it in to one of their shows here in Tampa to do a release but I missed it, I think it was a Pilsner.

 

Killswitch Engage is supposed to be releasing a beer "Alive or Just Brewing" with Cigar City in April, to coincide with Record Store Day and their re-issue of "Alive or Just Breathing" on vinyl.

I know their guitarist Adam D is a big craft beer guy. I even met him at Extreme Beer Fest a couple of years ago.

 

And let us not forget the greatest collaboration so far...

 

The Didjits from Burnt Hickory Brewery . Was a Punk Rock band , not Heavy Metal but it's a cool looking can and a great beer . https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/28606/81056/
It's a summer seasonal IPA with blood orange peel . Tasty beer , hope I can get more this summer .

 

There could be no better match, lol.

 

Local Option Bier out of Chicago has an overall Metal theme, and I believe that they've done some sort of collaborations with bands. -> http://localoptionbier.com/

 

I've had Iron Maiden Trooper. Was better than a lot of the BMC beers. But didn't wow me.
I thought it was a gimmick too make some money off the band name.

 

I wouldn't consider Clutch Metal . . . More like PURE ROCK FURY !

 

Decibel Magazine out of Philadelphia is putting on a metal and beer festival in April that will feature a bunch of breweries that make these kinds of collabs: 3 Floyds, Mikkeller, TRVE, Hydra, Cigar City, Unibroue, Burnt Hickory, Three Weavers, etc.

 

Here's the ones I've had:



Looking forward to trying this one when it comes out in the end of March:

 

I had a Crack The Skye last week and it was amazing. Heavy coffee forward flavoring. Just so so good. I have a package arriving from Indiana that will have a Skeleton Witch Red Death inside, can't wait to try that and the Pig Destroyer collab.

Wish I could get my hands on the AT THE GATES collab with Three Floyds.

 

This was pretty decent.
