I’ve been off the Brews Music for a while here on I Drunk That but all that changes today with a good, old, punk rock sing-along compliments of Boston’s own Street Dogs who are currently touring their way thought Europe.

I first got wind of Sly Fox Bock Fest about a six months ago, while sitting in a random hotel room and basking in the guilty pleasure that is HDNet. There was that lovable, boozy traveler, Art Mann, wandering the globe and drinking with the best of him. And then… there were goats.

“The Sly Fox Bock Festival & Goat Race is held on the first Sunday of May every year, rain or shine. It has become one of the Philadelphia region’s favorite beer-focused celebrations, drawing crowds estimated in the 2,500 to 3,000 range to the Sly Fox Brewhouse & Eatery in Phoenixville in recent years.”

It’s already obvious that we love a good beer festival over here on I Drunk That. But even more than that, we really love people who break the typical festival model of standing in line to get a tiny cup of beer just to go and stand in line again. Sly Fox Bock Fest shatters that monotony with by pairing pints of Sly Fox german-inspired beers with an oompah band and competative goat racing in the parking lot of a Philadelphia Suburb. Awesome? You Bet! Check out the promo video above or embrace the full experience with a terrible TV grab of Art Mann’s segment (complete with viewer commentary) below. We’ll see you out in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania this May!

Another great video from the Sixpoint brewery describing their new collaboration with Stumptown Coffee Roasters… A cold-pressed coffee infused German-style bock beer. Check out the video for Mad Scientist Series #2: Berserker Bock and find it on tap in New York here.

“On the world premiere of Brew Masters on Sunday, Nov. 21 at 10PM ET/PT only on Discovery Channel, join host Sam Calagione and his Dogfish Head team as they travel the world searching for the ingredients and techniques they need to produce beers of astounding origin”

Leave are starting to fall (at least here in Brooklyn) and the weather is slipping into that pre-winter “locking” crispness. For me, that means that its time for some good old Americana. Few hold a more dear place in my heart for such things than New York’s own Felice Brothers. While the Studio Version of Whisky in my Whisky (below) has long been one of those late-night-on-the-porch songs for me (okay, stoop… this is Brooklyn after all) , the live version is something of a modern sing-a-long bar room classic.

The folks over at Astor Wines (great store, by the way) caught up with Louisa Spencer of Farnum Hill Cider for a quick chat on America’s emerging cider market and how she and Steve Wood transitioned from Macintosh apple growers to heirloom cider producers.

I’ve had trouble finding feel good drunken sign-along punk rock as of lately but this one from Altanta’s The Bastard Suns always serves me well. Enjoy!

The first in a series of music celebrations of good old fashioned drinking.
