21- Olivier Pinard (Cryptopsy & Cattle Decapitation)

A conversation about his very busy upcoming 2019 playing in not only Cryptopsy, but also with Vengeful, Akurion & Cattle Decapitation. We mention that this is not the first time that we conduct an interview for Vox&Hops and how the initial interview is now known as "The Lost Episode of Vox&Hops". We also discuss his love of WWE Wrestling, some crazy tour stories, who he thinks is the best up and coming metal bands are, his memories of joining Cryptopsy as well revealing some new Cryptopsy announcements!

We recorded this episode at one of, if not, the best tap rooms of Montreal. We were graciously taken care of by the lovely staff of Vices&Versa. Vices&Versa has one of the most varied and extensive beer list of the city and I am never disappointed when I go there. It is a must visit for any craft beer enthusiasts when you are in Montreal. For the first time on the podcast, my guest and I tackled a tasters platter during the interview. At Vices&Versa, they offer a 6 4oz tasters plater.

Here is a list of the beers which we tasted during this Episode:

1- Funk Royal from Brasserie Dunham
2- Saison Ours from Microbrasserie Auberge Sutton Brouerie
3- 15 Vices from Matera Brasseurs Tonneliers
4- 4 Champagne from Brasserie Harricana
5- (Which turned out to be a cider...lol) Turbo Brut #3 from Cidrerie Chemin des Sept
6- Imperial Coffee Stout from Brasserie Vrooden Brewery

Matt's Album and Beer Pairing from the week of Feb 15-22 is Herod's Sombre Dessein and Biererie Shelton's Imperial Stout which has been aged for 6 months in Bourbon casks.
