Listen on:
Horns Up! Pints Up! Cheers, Mother Fuckers!
The Beer Metal Show came to life in late 2017. The early shows were very raw and not that pleasing to listen to. Hey, I’m just being honest here. Ha ha! With some upgraded equipment, and the loss of my co-host, The Beer Metal Show has become an online radio show with some Craft Beer drinking and dissecting in between songs. Of course, I kept the Metal Connection, which is a pairing of a Metal song to the beer which I am reviewing. On occasion, especially before the pandemic, I would visit a local brewery to interview the owners or brewers, as well as attending Metal shows and interviewing band members. One day I do hope to get back into doing more interviews, but for now the show is focusing on just the Craft Beer reviews with the Metal Connection. Each episode has a featured band to which I dive into their history and play music from each of that band’s full length albums from throughout their career to date. I also decided to focus mostly on Texas Craft Beer, and move the reviews of my cellared beers over to their own show.
In early 2020, It Came from the Cellar Podcast was created. These are mini episodes featuring one beer review with it’s Metal Connection, and now I have decided to also include Horror Movie reviews as well on this series.

Welcome to episode 33 of The Beer Metal Show Podcast. This episode is called These Beers Shall Be Your Grave. I sat down with Owner/Brewer, Jason Gonzales & Assistant Brewer, Rey Duque of Mad Pecker Brewing Company from here in San Antonio, TX. This is a brewpub owned by one of my lifelong best friends. I also used to work there, and was part of the very beginning. We had a Hell of a great time chatting it up while enjoying some of their delicious beers. We might have had a little too much fun. There is a lot of shit talking on this episode. We said a lot of dumb shit! I was able to do this interview at the pub, since this interview actually took place before the Corona Virus shutdown. This episode was an editing nightmare! That day, I just took all my equipment and just plugged it in and we just got started. I didn't EQ all of our microphones, and it shows. I had to adjust a lot of things to get it to sound the way it does. Took me forever. Maybe I'm just being picky and you might not even notice. Please listen to our serious, and most of the time funny AF conversation. Enjoy the show!

Welcome to episode 26(66) of The Beer Metal Show Podcast. Back on Monday, August 12th, I had the privilege and pleasure to sit and have a chat with none other than Paul Speckmann of the legendary Death Metal band, MASTER. With his permission, I was able to record their entire show, and I will be playing this concert here on today's episode throughout the interview. We talked about all things from his long musical journey to his favorite beer, and unfortunately it is not craft beer, but that's OK, we cant win them all. Mr. Speckmann is an old friend, and I always look forward to when they tour my area. Always a kick ass live show. This will be a different episode than most, as there will be no beer drinking on this one. So please, even if you are not into Metal, give this episode a listen, as Paul Speckmann is a man who deserves 100% respect and attention.
