Homebrewing Music

[SkinnyShamrock]

Wow, lots of metal fans on HBT, awesome! I wish the rest of the world had this many fans of Killswitch and whatnot.

I rarely listen to music when brewing, actually. But when I do it's my typical favorites...

Killswitch
Protest the Hero
Misery Signals
A Life Once Lost
Trivium
Dave Matthews Band (live or not at all)
The Cat Empire
The song "Beer" by Reel Big Fish

 

[Medo]

Ahoy hoy,
Aw hell this is an easy one.
Instrumental Jazz...or....
Bon Scott era AC/DC....or....
Old Time Radio Shows from the 30s and 40s...
So, isnt this what everyone listens to when their brewing?
A great day to all!
and....
DEATH.....before disco.......:rockin:
(does that date me?)

[BrewBrain]

I listen to the voices in my head. Brewing is 4 - 5 hours of birds chirping and propane roaring. Why spoil it?

Not a music guy. I have never heard of probably 75%+ of what's been listed. No ipod either. I think I'm last

I do often listen to a baseball game while brewing in the summer.

 

[Joos]

I listen to all kinds of music(excluding country and rap).Flogging molly all the way If I'm Brewing/Drinking?fighting.Gotta celebrate the irish roots.Poig ma gaile thoin!

 

[user 30639]

If I have my laptop handy, I either turn on my Red Dirt channel on Pandora or Radio Free Texas. If my wife has commandeered my computer, I just turn on the local classic rock station.

Note to self, get another computer.

 

[Bach7210]

I throw the XM into the boombox and promptly put it on 202.

Either listen to:

Opie and Anthony

-or-

Ron and Fez

depending on what time of the day it is. If they don't happen to be on, then I'll go over the classic rock or 70's channel.

 

[KayaBrew]

Roots Reggae!! Spear, Midnite, Culture, Bob, Derrick Morgan, the Itals...etc

 

[foxtrot]

"Great one. Have you heard their other album "Radiodread"?
edit: They are also releasing a dub version of Sgt Peppers in two weeks!"

I plan to get those, too. Did you catch them at the Fox? I missed that show (I live in Arvada, BTW). Almost neighbors!

I tend to have the telly on, too (no sound). The History channel or something with cool images.

(How do you guys do the quote box thingy?)

 

[rico567]

There's always Glenn Gould's rendition of The Well-Tempered Clavier by Bach....or perhaps if it's a rainy day, the mid-range "Rasumovsky" quartets of Beethoven. I'm particular to Op. 59, No. 2.

No, really......

 

[BlackRob]

SLAYER



Amon Amarth
Lamb of God
King Diamond
Kreator
Clutch
Pantera
Cannibal Corpse
ICP
tool
Mastodon

[hopdog]

"A Prairie Home Companion" or the Red Sox... I do most of my brewing on Sundays.

 

[fixie]

I love some sweet guitar!

Derek Trucks Band
Allman Brothers
Bill Frisell
David Grisman
Carl Harvey
Just to name a few the list could go on forever.

This is the Friday song on KLQ here in Grand Rapids! Beer Is Good!

 

[mmb]

This is the Friday song on KLQ here in Grand Rapids! Beer Is Good!

Do they do a bit afterwords talking about how alcohol abuse is bad? Z93 in Mid Michigan has in the past.

Beer is Good.

 

[gabeweisz]

Various metal, as the mood strikes me.

 

[chrisbarnes5000]

It depends on the wether. If it is sunny I whip out my solar powered radio and listen to NPR. If it is cloudy I haul out the speakers and plug in the ipod. Then:

Motorhead
RL Burnside
Uncle Tupelo
Pulp
Tom Waits
NERD
Cake
Cracker
The Clash
The Cramps
Dead Prez
Swans
Gogol Bordello
Guitar Wolf
Leonard Cohen
etc, etc

 

[JPicasso]

Ah, sort of like RUSH for me...

AMEN! Don't get it.

FM Rock mostly,

Although I've been on a Godsmack kick lately.

Metallica, Megadeath, BlackLabel Society.

Someone posted a RedFang YouTube vid (pretty funny), would like to hear more of them.

And don't forget about Weird Al.:fro:

As someone said to me - "I could maybe brew with you for like half a day...." You have some nostalgic stuff on there for me....uncle tupelo, burnside, cramps, etc. I have mixed feelings about a lot of that mid 90's stuff, just because of the strings attached.....I'm an NPR brewer myself, as I tend to get started at about 5AM when the fam is asleep and NPR news programs abound!

 

[sundaybrewingco]

Frank Zappa - Hot Rats album

or

Any Live Phish album.

 

[GuitarBob]

I generally listen to classic rock and some contemporary rock. Lately I've been on a Dragonforce, Hammerfall, Nightwish,... kick.

You got good taste, the only thing missing is some Blind Guardian and Kamelot. Probably should add Demons & Wizards too, and let's not forget the perfect band for brewing... Alestorm.


In fact any sort of power metal is a good choice.

 

[TheCHICompany]

When palletizing kegs for shipping: THE PLASMATICS RULE!

 

[chumprock]

Wendy O. was from my hometown.

I listen to whatever comes on the shuffle. usually It's a trip, it's got a funky beat, and I can really bug out to it.


Or Radio Paradise.

 

[BackBayBrewing]

About a year ago I bought a nice old turntable and tuner and have started collecting some of my favorite jazz albums on vinyl. Ever since, I have been listening to these albums whenever I brew.

Last batch: Sellis White/John Coltrane, A love Supreme

 

[Rubberband]

I always listen to something and it's never the same....

+1 on something different every time. I generally listen to classic rock or country. I like to pair up with the Redwings and listen to the hockey game when possible. Last session was full tour of my Sinatra collection, my favorite being Live at the Sands.

":rockin:How did all these people get in my room?"

 

[johntangus]

anything as long as it's not that british lady with the eyebrows singing "le miserables" from "britain's got talent"

haven't we seen/heard enough?

 

[magnj]

I usually don't listen to music...but I'll try next time. Assume DMB since I have about 30GB worth on my hard drive.

 

[beerocd]

I listen to the voices in my head. Brewing is 4 - 5 hours of birds chirping and propane roaring. Why spoil it?

I'm in the solitary confinement camp too. Going for the Zen brewing experience.
I brew alone....yeah, with nobody else....

-OCD

 

[GunnerMan]

Mark Knopfler
Leo Kotke
Simon and Garfunkel
Various pre 90's country
