Pairing beer with music

[Xpertskir]

Pairing wines with music has been gaining momentum and it got me thinking about beer and music.

Tell me a beer style or specific beer and what song, genre, or, album ect. you would pair it with.


Im thinking I would pair a Geuze with some Pink Floyd, some of their more progressive stuff, like Shine on you crazy diamond or Echoes.

Both the beer and the music are layered, changing, and take a while to resolve themselves with your ears and tongue.

I've found that all music sounds better with a bit (or more) of beer.

Probably a IIPA and some Floyd. Red Ale or English Brown with LZ. Bud Light for Country (The perfect combination because I don't partake in either!)

Old Rasputin with Mastodon's Crack the Sky album

I give music suggestions (or inspirations) on each of my beer labels

Funnycreature, That is great stuff! Metal is not really my thing anymore (although back in the day I was big into Priest, Maiden, Sabbath) but I really dig your art work choices and overall theme.

Thank you very much! For me the labels are a big part of the process (although nobody except metal heads really understands them). It gives them the last bit of personalization!

EDIT: I actually started a thread why I think that beer is like metal :rockin:

Punk rock for homebrew:

Homebrew by Toxic Narcotic lyrics

Corperate Beer that tastes like ****,
profit as they sell you piss
doesn't cost that much at all
to sit at home and brew your own

[Chorus:]
I want homebrew!
Cider lager stout & ale
have a pint, it's not for sale
pride in what you made from scratch
sucking back a fresh brewed batch
I want home brew!

Buying corperate beer is like buying corperate rock
production for consumption that will never stop
we brew it thick and rich, because we're thin & poor
support the independant when we buy it at a store

[Chorus] (..i belive)

Homebrew music
homebrew beer
DIY for life, the situation's clear
to everybody down, i raise my glass & cheer and have another drink of that homebrewed beer

I just now realized that this is a new way of defining a metal hop head!

 

[roastquake]

that's about how I looked yesterday when I picked a 3/4 lb of fresh cascade.. I put my face in it...

For John Cage's 4'33" I just hold an empty glass.

Can't go wrong with a shiner and some Texas country

Jimmy Buffett with anything. Especially while I'm brewing...

 

[roastquake]

I wish I could "like" that 100 more times, I love Jimmy, grew up on his music. Sucks that most Jimmy fans I know drink sh%$ beer or bourbon
