Dogfish Head Has several releases inspired by music legends including Miles Davis (Bitches Brew) and Robert Johnson (Hellhound). North Coast Brewing has a very popular beer honoring the legendary Thelonius Monk (Brother Thelonius)
While some releases are simply inspired by the musicians... others are in collaboration. Dogfish Head has worked with Pearl Jam to brew a release celebrating their 20 years anniversary as a band and New Belgium recently worked with the band Clutch as part of their Lips of Faith series of beers.
With songs such as "Beer Pressure" I would really love to see a brewery work with metal band Municipal Waste on a project. But don't assume just because they like to party that they don't like the good stuff. Check out this video of their drummer David Witte dropping some serious beer knowledge:
I volunteer my homebrewing skills to this idea so if MW is reading this and is down lets make a German Rauchbier (Smoke Beer). The fans will get the reference and it would be great with some BBQ!
What other bands deserve their own beer?
