For some, plastering a band name on a bottle of booze is nothing more than a marketing gimmick. Others, like Maynard James Keenan, pour everything into their creations. However you define the following, here are a few band-name beverages to request at your next show.
Les Claypool: Purple Pachyderm by Claypool Cellars
Made in Santa Rosa with grapes grown in Sonoma, the famous Primus bassist’s first stab at vino is a pinot noir that touts a dark ruby color and fruity aromatics.
Marilyn Manson: Mansinthe by Absinthe.de
Produced in Switzerland, this wormwood-based beverage is 66.6% alcohol, requiring dilution with ice water over a sugar cube (Björk not included).
Miles Davis: Bitches Brew by Dogfish Head
Forty years after the milestone album, Bitches Brew now has its literal namesake. A dark, earthy ale, the beer is suggested alongside spicy foods or chili.
Motörhead: Motörhead Vödka
Perhaps the Motörhead Shiraz (which, no joke, was banned in Iceland) wasn’t metal enough? This vodka, distilled in Malmköping, Sweden, is the second in the band’s beverage line, which also sells any conceivable drinkware with the classic Motörhead logo.
