Three Floyd's Skeletonwitch Red Death Sour has probably been my favorite so far. I'm still sitting on a bottle of Three Floyd's Mastodon Crack the Skye, but hear it is good. Cigar City's GWAR Oderus Ale is okay if you're looking for something to sip on in the summer time.

Seems like Three Floyd's pretty much has the lock down on metal band beers, (with Surly doing a few maybe?). But seems most bands will dip their toes in the water with a blonde or bitter (Iron Maiden Trooper). I think Amon Amarth did a porter a few years back with Three Floyd's as well.

 

Surly's 1349 black ale was pretty excellent actually

 

Keep an eye out for the February issue of the mag. We have a feature dedicated to brewery-band collaborations.

 

I wish Maynard from TOOL did beer instead of wine. Great f'in music.

 

Another good one... 3 Floyds - Permanent Funeral, done with Pig Destroyer.

 

The label on the AC DC beer I was given was tastefully designed. Made the mistake of trying to drink it.

Other end of the spectrum was a tribute to Chained To The Dead brewed by Rushing Duck that was spectacular

 

A Tout Le Monde by Unibroue (Megadeath) is a farmhouse saison.

 

Was it called 'Big Balls'?

 

That beer was pretty decent for a light ABV saison.

 

Some British Ale I see in the stores with Iron Maiden "The Trooper" on the bottles. I let it sit thought for the high price and low ratings (78). Cool bottle art though.

 

3Floyds also did a beer with Amon Amarth. It was called Ragnorak IIRC. Never got to try it, though. But I love Amon Amarth.

 

Great labels, not so great beers.

 

Back in Black from 21st Amendment

 

Nuclear Hop Assault

 

The Iron Maiden Trooper ale isn't bad. It's just a very simplistic ESB, iirc.
