Scissorfight Beer to be Released March 28
Posted in Whathaveyou on March 20th, 2015 by JJ Koczan
Further proof of how ahead of their time New Hampshire’s Scissorfight were: They’ve been gone for the better part of a decade and they still earn enough devotion to have their own beer. Presented by Smuttlabs, which seems to be a division or somehow otherwise in league with Smuttynose Brewing perhaps in a sudsy R&D kind of way, the Granite State Destroyer Imperial Corn Lager will be officially released on March 28 at the Smuttynose brewery in Hampton, NH.
Technically speaking, this is the first Scissorfight release since their 2006 swansong, Jaggernaut (“don’t you ever stop?”), though of course I’ve taken it mostly as a sign of how badly that band needs to do a reunion, preferably at a festival put together by me at a date and time yet undecided — also yet un-conceived, so don’t start asking about it. You get the point. Scissorfight fucking kill. Easily worth a beer in tribute.
Here’s the info from the Thee Facebooks event page for the release and a killer video posted by guitarist James Jay Fortin under an official Scissorfight YouTube account:
Hampton, NH – Smuttlabs and Scissorfight Present: Granite State Destroyer
Come nab a bottle of the latest Smuttlabs offering, Granite State Destroyer! For years, we’ve been wanting to work with the legendary underground metal band, Scissorfight. Hailing from the Seacoast of New Hampshire, these fellas tore up stages across the country from the mid-90s to the mid-00s. Beer-fueled rock and roll at its grimiest and heaviest. When we approached them, they, of course, were all about it and it seemed only natural that we brew an imperial corn lager and package it in 32 oz. bottles. Deceitfully drinkable, we used 100% Saphir hops for a lovely nose and fruity hop character. And, of course, that kick of corn sweetness let’s you know what you’re getting yourself into. We have a pretty good supply of bottles but we suspect this one will move fast so get yours while you can. See you at Towle Farm!
Each 32 oz. bottle is $TBD.
