In 1985 The Smith’s release their second album “Meat is Murder”, and what can be said…..It’s a ten song punch in the gut! Morrisey’s melancholy and ridiculously dramatic lyrics show an unwillingness to hold back, while Johnny Marr’s guitar swagger and Andy Rourke’s churning, thumping bass show clearly how much this band matured in less than a year from their debut. No teenage-punk-angst here! 1994 brought us the “Seattle Sound” and Soundgarden’s fourth album “Superunknown” was born. A thunderous, anvil-crushing, freight train flying off the tracks, brought the band to the forefront of a musical shift. Four pilots of one plane clashing with a producer trying to navigate it all brought us one of the finest hard-rock masterpieces of all time. Wild albums, why not wild hops? Belgium’s Oude Geuze Vielle fits the bill. Made in accordance with time honoured traditions it will introduce you to the wondrous world of spontaneous fermentation.
