Motorhead Brand Beer

Not only has Motorhead conquered the music world now they've got their sights set on the world of alcohol. Makes perfect sense too, the fact that Lemmy doesn't have his own brand of whiskey shocks me. The band has launched their own beer called "Bastards Lager" and is brewed in Sweden by the folks at Kronleins. This marks the 2nd time Motorhead has dipped their toes into the liquor market. Last year they came out with their own wine, Motorhead Shiraz. I never would of guessed those dudes to be big wine drinkers, whiskey and speed yes, but not wine.
Drummer Mikkey Dee seems to like the new brew, "You're never too old for rock 'n' roll and good chilled beer. That always works well together!"

Motorhead isn't the first metal band to dabble in the wine culture, Slayer has their signature red wine appropriately titled "Reign in Blood. AC/DC has four different bottles to choose from, Highway To Hell", a Cabernet Sauvignon; "Hells Bells", a Sauvignon Blanc; "Back In Black", a Shiraz; and "You Shook Me All Night Long", a miscato. Motorhead is currently in the studio working on what will their 21st album. Proving that like a good vino, they only get better with age.
