Megadeth Beer Proving A 'Huge' Success

(Classic Rock) Dave Mustaine says he wants his A Tout Le Monde ale to serve as both a "social lubricant" and a glue to bring music and beer lovers together and rejects the notion that it is a vanity project.

Named after a song from Megadeth's 1994 album Youthanasia, the Belgian-style brew was launched by craft brewery Unibroue last week - and the vocalist says it's been a "huge" success so far.

He says in a Sirius XM interview "It's been a huge smash. The first run's completely sold out. We flew past all of their expectations and they're scrambling right now to get the next batch made.

"I heard recently that they sold 240 cases in one day in Tampa. That's just one city in the nation, and they distribute to five continents. I can see now why Iron Maiden did it."

Mustaine, who released his own wine Symphony in 2014, says branching out into the drinks market has never been a vanity project for him.Read more here.
