If you like the regular “Hopadillo,” a beer with a stupid name but maximum flavor, you may appreciate the Imperial IPA, which is a drier version of the regular Hopadillo with intense levels of alcohol that may have you punching out windshields like a Florida Man.

Despite the hipstery iconography, everyone wants to love this beer… but it is an IPA with a sweet aftertaste, like banging a Sprite after having a nice austere IPA. For this reason, it drops out of the running among the indie microbrew offerings for alcoholism in Texas.

Ah, post-Reddit metal: a bunch of sweaty basement nerds with an axe to grind against anyone who has succeeded — sort of like in late hardcore, which went commie/christian as well — raging about a genre that they could not reproduce or even understand.

With great anticipation, most of the metalheads in Houston crowded into the White Oak music hall to catch a massive bill headed by one of the most stories names in black metal, the inimitable Beherit. The excitement was memorable.

When you think of the impetus behind Sammath and Kaeck, think of cooking: a careful adjustment of the ratio and granularity of ingredients in order to achieve the perfect effect. Trying to meld aggressive death metal and sinister black metal requires precise intent, like martial arts or assembling nukes.

Founding member of At the Gates vocalist Tomas Lindberg passed on to the grey lands yesterday from complications of cancer treatment. History will remember him for their epic first album, The Red in the Sky is Ours, which created the atmospheric metal genre in a new form.

While the review queue winds on like the river of microplastics and C. diff diarrhea that it is, it makes sense to revisit some favorite beers, like this austere IPA which delivers a bit of a punch but mostly a beer experience that is more like drinking wine.

Ignoring the vandalistic “art,” the stupid name, and the goofy promises written on the can, the Art Car IPA provides a fruity yet ascetic high-powered India Pale Ale that does not degrade with warmth like most fruity beers. It has its own self-possessed flavor.

Conforming to the new norm in American beers of higher ABV, this beer tastes like a malty American adjunct beer with too much sweetness and an aftertaste of that yeasty, boiled squash flavor that comes from fermenting grains, but on the whole, beats most of the alternatives.

Old school hardcore punk placed many of us on the thrash-to-death pipeline where we started with Amebix, Cro-Mags, The Exploited, Discharge, or Agnostic Front and transitioned through DRI and Cryptic Slaughter into full-blown Sepultura, Slayer, and Bathory worship. These ancient bands ride again!
