Sunn O))) and Scott Walker’s Soused is now a beer
In 2014, Scott Walker and Sunn O))) released a collaborative album called Soused, and now there’s a corresponding beer. Three breweries—Right Proper, Stone and Pen Druid—have partnered together to brew Soused, a 7 percent ABV Nordic IPA, according to a report from NPR Music. The beer debuted at the Right Proper release party on Tuesday night. The Nordic yeast used in the beer is intended to be a nod to the Nordic influences in the music of Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson. (They did used to be in a band called Thorr’s Hammer, so it’s a fairly spot-on reference.) The duo also had a band called Teeth of Lions Rule the Divine, which also was the name of a Right Proper beer.
Soused also made an appearance at the Craft Brewers Conference in Washington, D.C. and will be available in New York, Maryland and Virginia.
