Episode 247: Metal, Surly Bender and Numerous Sub-Genres

We’ve talked a lot about our favourite music on this podcast over the years, one genre we’ve never touched is metal. We brought on friends and metallurgists (sorry, metal-heads?) Dan (Kijiji) Klanjcar and Dale (Bawlz) Kibbins to discuss the loudest type of music. Surly Brewing is one of the continents most well-known metal-loving breweries, so we’re drinking their Bender Oatmeal Brown Ale.
