    Black metal doesn't need a parody. It's the punk pathetique of metal genres; already a parody of itself.

    We knew it was metal, just by the name.

    Plus, is there metal that isn't underground?

    I guess Metallica? But beyond that, I don't know of another metal band that has any cultural catche outside of people that listen to metal.

    That beer and company never made it to my part of the country but Ive known about it forever because of the unique name hearing it back in the day. I know its a brown ale right off the top of my head.

    Shakesbeer

    A name so stupid that I almost didn't try it at the Garrick Inn in Stratford-upon-Avon. But it turned out to be the best pint of cask ale I think I've ever had ... I've only had 2-3 others that come close to as good as it was. I think it technically was a 4.0% English pale ale or English bitter.

    There is now a brewing company called "Shakesbeer" I believe, but that is not what I'm talking about FWIW. Though the name is still pretty dumb whoever is using it.

    And even then, there's subset of metal fans that don't consider Metallica, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and similar bands to even be metal. Metal snobs are real.

    “The Brown Note” with a cartoon of poopy underwear on the level.
    I’m like “ha ha” but also “hail no!”

    Only other one I could think of as a worthy candidate. Also depends on your definition of Metal bc Tool is pretty popular, Guns N Roses blur the lines between Hair Metal and real Metal and Slipknot have endured throughout the years

    Not sure that Pantera, Tool, or Slipknot have reached the level of mainstream success where people who don't listen to other metal bands will rock their shirt.

    Billy beer was a shitty name for an even shittier beer. I was under age when I tried it and even then, I thought it was swill.

    While Tree House Green and its relatives include some of my favorite beers, I find the name "Milky Green" particularly unappetizing.

    Yeah, that name sounds like its color would be the same as pond scum.

    I think Drekker's whole Braaaaaaaaaaaaains thing is idiotic on a whole bunch of levels. (Did I put enough a's in that? :rolling_eyes:)
    I have a Slipknot shirt. It's actually a Slipknot #9 Whiskey shirt that I got at the Cedar Ridge Distillery in Swisher, IA. The mail carrier told me once that he'd never seen an "older guy" wearing a Slipknot shirt.

    «Konass», a southern French brewery from what they call the Riviera.

    It’s a very crude word in French to call a woman (misspelt too it’s connasse).

    Trust me, it takes a lot to offend me, just piss poor marketing stunt. You can Google that word if you bother, think otherwise of the English slur that starts with C and sounds like hunt.
