Mastodon have crafted four albums of premium metal, and when they played Germany’s Sonisphere Festival on the 4th of July, they were greeted with their own premium crafted beer.

Stephan Michel of German brewery Mahr’s Brau made a limited run of only 200 bottles of Mastodon Premium Lager and gifted the band and their crew with it upon their arrival to the fest (which also featured Down and Metallica, among others).

There’s absolutely no truth to the rumor that the band’s Brent Hinds drank 197 of the bottles.
