Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquillity)

A conversation about how he has been coping with 2020, his craft beer journey, being an avid homebrewer, the Swedish Craft Beer Scene, Dark Tranquillity collab brews, enjoying brews on tour, his 1st shows, the Swedish Metal Scene, releasing an album during a pandemic, how he Fights The Hops & his hangover cure.

Throughout this interview Mikael was drinking Stigbergets Bryggeri's "IPA with Orange" as well as their "Miami Meow DIPA" which is a collaboration alongside J. Wakefield Brewing & All In Brewing Co. which clocked in with an 8% ABV.

Matt was drinking Brasserie Générale's "Grand-Maman Gâteau". This decadent Pastry Stout was brewed with copious amounts of Macadamia Nuts, Roasted Coconut, Cacao, Madagascar Vanilla & lactose. It was absolutely stunning!!! It kicked off sweet, radiated nutty vibes, had a coconut finish & was super silky. It clocked in at a very dangerous 10.9 % ABV.

This is a Heavy Montreal presents Vox&Hops episode! Heavy Montreal is Montreal's premier metal promoter. They host one of North America's best Metal Festivals & present countless amazing events during the rest of the year. I am truly honored & extremely excited to have them involved in the podcast.
