Favorite Brewing Music

[PantsOffBrewing]

Its gotta be Polka. Every time I brew I put it on and my wife gets pissed.

"in heaven there is no beer, thats why we drink it here....."

I live in Louisiana and love some good Cajun and Zydeco music playing while I brew. It definitely puts the beer in a good mood. Good call and cheers to dancing yeasties!

 

[KayaBrew]

There have been a few posts about this in the past, and I always respond by saying that I listen to roots Reggae while brewing. Love the easy vibes!

 

[CrawGator]

Zydeco rocks!

Laisse le bon temps rouler

 

[arturo7]

During my last brew, I was spinning some Meters.

 

[mr_clean]

Bagpipes,Floyd is good as well.

 

[marubozo]

For my last batch I was blasting Jefferson Airplane. Usually during a brew it's either some classic rock or heavy metal. Depends on the mood.

 

[Aneurysm9]

I'm all over the place. Last time I brewed I listened to Les Claypool, Coheed and Cambria, Blood Simple, and Dethklok. Variety, in music as in beer, is the spice of life!

 

[coffeegod]

Miles Davis, Theolonious Monk, or Charlie Mingus...My yeastie beasties are hip

I think I've posted on a few of these types of threads as well. My tastes go anywhere from traditional Irish music to Hank III to Dropkick Murphys and Welch Boys to extreme metal. Yesterday I was listening to Black Metal, namely Watain, while brewing a Belgian Golden Strong. Seems fitting since so many BGSA's are named after the devil. Mine is named "The Unhallowed" after a fine classic Black Metal song.

Aug. 1 brewday was Slipknot, Stone Sour, Breaking Benjamin, Linkin Park.

 

[primal_reason]

I've only had one brew day so far, but I was listening to Rush. :rockin:

 

[becksbolero2]

The Band, and Townes Van Zandt

 

[smackythefrog]

operation ivy and the kinks this last time around. i'll have to give primus a try.

 

[jschaf]

yeah my bad I didn't search for music threads, just making conversation. I don't think most know about the plethra of amazing music in Louisiana though.

 

[HorribleCatfish]

I just throw the non-ipod on shuffle. It has a ton of Rush, Dream Theater, Genesis, Black Crowes and Primus...amongst a ton of other stuff.

Never thought i'd seen Watain mentioned on this forum. I actually used to listem to them like 7 years back.

If going with music at all, i would be listening Classical stuff (Dvörak, Rimsky-Korsakov, Handel, Haydn, Carlos Seixas) or BM (Stuff from the new Japanese movement, the recent NSBM Russian movement or the mid 00's German movement.)

In the summer- a Grateful Dead show, one of the monsters they played in '72-'74. Brewing is a great time to listen to a whole show unfold, and it helps keep me from rushing the process.

In the winter- jazz. Brad Mehldau, Dave Holland, Medeski Martin & Wood, Coltrane, John McLaughlin, etc.

Occasionally, some bluegrass/newgrass.

 

[Dogslife]

I must say it is interesting how similar tastes can become.
I too listen to:

Varieties of Reggae
The Police
Pink Floyd
Peter Frampton
Surf Guitar Rock
Rush

Just as my brewing moods are diverse, so are my musical moods.

 

[jschaf]

I guess everyone has their own style of brewing, so I can picture people brewing to Bach, as well as death grindcore. Pretty funny

 

[Kpetersen]

listened to candlemass last brew and it went swimmingly. perfect brewing music. doom metal when brewing, classic rock and folk when bottling

 

[Homercidal]

I usually brew with a friend who would rather discuss politics, sex, religion, etc. than listen to music. Even if he did though, he would likely listen to old gospel, or old CW, or (Gasp and vomit) bagpipes!

I haven't brewed with music in a while, but while cleaning bottles, etc. I've recently busted out my old Blue Murder CD. Daym that John Sykes can write some tasty guitar rock!

 

[user 30639]

I generally listen to Texas Country/Red Dirt music while I'm brewing. It seems that most of their songs are about drinking anyway, so it's appropriate music.

 

[NAZZ]

Is there a certain kind of music you always listen to when brewing? I seem to always listen to southern rock. Lynyrd Skynayd, Marshall Tucker, Neil Young, Hank Williams Jr. and more. Just feels right I guess.
I just finished what will be an Oaked Vanilla Bourbon Porter (D-Day).
Cheers NAZZ

 

[Walker]

I listen to the Dead, the Doors, skynyrd, or throw on Pandora Radio to get a mix of everything.

[Druish_00]

I usually have on some traditional Irish music like Lunasa. Or often something more modern like flogging molly, dropkick murphys or gaelic storm. If Im doing a big beer I'll throw on some metalcore or something similar.

Good drinkin music is good brewing music!

 

[vinyl_key]

Strange Brew - Cream
Pretty much obligatory for me.

 

[sean6247]

Just put on the local classic rock station, and go with what comes across. Always a good time.

 

[oceanselv]

+ 1 on Pandora

It depends on when I'm brewing. If it's a morning brew I tend to stay low key and fire up some jazz or mellow classic rock. If it's a later brew and I'm drinking as much as I'm brewing, then it's usually Tool, Pantera, Metallica, etc.
