Prepare for detonation.

"Battlestations" by Wolfgang Gartner and Kill The Noise starts out like a classic orchestra but in just a few seconds you find out its more like an electronic symphony. The symphony tells a story based in the future where a crew of (potential) starfighters are preparing to battle.

"Hard to feel explosives. Power up is locked and loaded. Take your battlestations. Prepare for detonation.

Ok, so what beer should we pair with this song?

"Prepare for detonation. Detonation. Detonation."

If you were on this crew, your captain is telling you to prepare for battle. You must prepare for anything that could come your way. That thing could be an explotion of flavor, potentially a big punch of Grapefruit; a punch right in the face. Rally Cap, a grapefruit shandy by Center of the Universe Brewing Company, is just what you need. After all, what better place is there to take on the universe than starting in the center of it?

You gotta take this attack of flavor head on and hit it out of the park! Or at least, that's what the Richmond Flying Squirrels would tell you. This beer is actually collabed with this minor league baseball team.

Sometimes the only way out is as a carcass.

You're in the Mafia and you made a deal with the devil. You promised to follow through but you got caught. Now you're going to court and you can't bring up who you're working with. If you do, it's the end of you. "I bet my billionth bottom dollar on a hopeless case and now the devil on my shoulder has a knife to my face." Maybe it's time to talk to daddy. After all, he has connections. He can get you out of anything. But then again, if he helps you, you will pay. No, not with money; you're broke after paying your lawyer. You'll pay with something much more severe, most likely your life. "Sometimes the short end of the stick is the sharpest. Sometimes the only road to take is the darkest. Sometimes all you gotta say is 'Daddy, make it go away.' Sometimes the only way out is as a carcass." After talking to daddy, you find it's in your best interest to stay away from him and his workers. You go back to court and the police as

There's a picture on the wall of Kanye West.

"Freaking Out," the psychedelic pop-rock song by The Wrecks, gets pretty weird… "In the bathroom, on my back, there's a picture on the wall of Kanye West. He's staring at me; he's staring at me. I'm freaking out; I'm freaking out." …as weird as an IPA labeled with a tiger shooting rainbow-lasers out of his eyes. Elysian's Dayglow IPA pairs perfectly with the odd sounds The Wrecks bring us in this new single. "I'm on the lawn. It's almost 3:00. I look around; I look at her; she looks at me. She's suspicious; she's suspicious. I'm freaking out; I'm freaking out." The lyrics and the sounds of the keyboard will automatically have you thinking, "this is weird." And even more so if you listen to the guitar rift in the first second as you stare at your newly found Dayglow bottle. But then you take a sip. It's crisp, a little juicy, and oh my—is that pineapple? Yes, it is! Now your on to the cho

Dance for me.

"Dance Monkey" by Tones and I on their only release so far, The Kids Are Coming, is truly unique. Enjoy this fresh new song with the fresh and fun Belgian-style tripel, Golden Monkey, by Victory Brewing Company, based in Downingtown, PA. "Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me." There's that one person at the bar you want to have an exhilarating experience with; that could be a dance. That's what this song is all about. You know your paths will separate at some point but you should enjoy the moment while it's right in front of you. "I've never seen anybody do the things you do before. They say move for me, move for me, move for me and when you're done I'll make you do it all again." Belgian tripels are not so different. Savior the moment. These beers are hard to come by at a lively bar but they are a great choice. They're strong so it'll last you awhile before having to wait in line at the bar again but they are also
