Music and beer are the best social lubricants known to man! Liquid Note Brewing was named to tie itself to music. It started when Mark McPherson and Chris LaPonsie chatted on the phone one Sunday afternoon and Mark suggested that capturing the styles of artists’ music would be an interesting spin on beer. “What does Johnny Cash’s music taste like in a pint glass?” was the question that Mark posed to Chris. Instantly, more ideas started to form and it was evident that the beers would be very easy to design using this philosophy. It’s up to you to figure out the artist that goes along with each beer! We hope you enjoy our Musically Infused Brews!
