Oakland’s Ale Industries have teamed up with Bay Area heavy metal band Death Angel to create Caster of Shame IPA. The beer will be released at the brewery on November 24.
It is not secret that a lot of music icons, specifically Heavy Metal bands, are getting their own signature beer brewed by well known breweries around the world.
Last year Courtney Iseman wrote an article titled: Why so many metal bands are releasing their own beer where he shared his opinion in the matter. You should check it out if you are interested in the subject.
Using all 2-row malt with some dextrin malt for that smooth mouthfeel, this beer is balanced by a medium amount of bittering hop additions while finishing strong with Eureka! hops for exceptional flavor and aroma.
Thirst quenching notes of resin and dark fruit along with aromas of grapefruit rind and tangerine really make this beer a crusher. Finishing at 6.7% only seemed fitting for this devilishly delicious IPA.
Caster of Shame IPA pre-orders are available for $19.99 (4pk 16oz cans) for pickup on November 24 at the taproom. General admission is from 2pm until 5pm.
Death Angel commented: “We’re glad to be a part of their already truly magnificent, and quality beer selection.”

About Ale Industries:
In 2009 Ale Industries set out with a rebellious spirit, an environmentally-conscious endeavor striving to spread the blissful experience of a craft. Ale Industries unapologetically refuse to let their beers be categorized into styles, types, or profiles because they believe it relegates their vision of craft beer from a verb to a noun, from a spirit to a product.
They’ve pioneer brewing technologies to save energy and reduce waste because they understand that investing in the environment will nurture the communities they care about, allowing them to flourish and grow. Oakland, California is their home, where they aim to foster connections with their neighbors and friends. Ale Industries is not just in the business of “producing craft beer.” Ale Industries is for the preservation of craft beer and its founding principals: challenging both your and their notion of what beer is, can, or should be.
