Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest: Denver is tapping the Fillmore Auditorium as this year’s home of the world’s loudest, heaviest, most extreme craft beer festival on Friday and Saturday, December 5-6, 2025. And now the full can-crushing band and brewery lineup can finally be revealed!
Freshly reunited sludge/doom legends Acid Bath make their first Denver appearance in over 30 years to headline Saturday night (December 6), while Denver’s own death metal space force Blood Incantation will perform their first hometown show in over two years with an epic headlining performance on Friday night (December 5).
The already stacked artist bill, presented by Century Media, is rounded out by: Oklahoma City noise rock crushers Chat Pile, NOLA sludgelords Eyehategod, resurrected metallic hardcore heroes Deadguy, Mass maulers the Red Chord (performing a special 20th anniversary Clients set), Minnesota atmospheric black metallers Panopticon (performing a special 10th anniversary Autumn Eternal set), Denver doom destructors Primitive Man, U.K. stoner sludge sword wielders Conan, Northeast death metal cutting crew Castrator and Houston black metal earth-scorchers Necrofier.
But that’s just the (sober) half of it! America’s most metal breweries—and meaderies—will descend upon the beer capital of the U.S. to provide the essential suds to the soundtrack of crushing metallic thuds! Presented by American craft brewing legends 3 Floyds Brewing (IN), the murderous brewers’ row also includes Featured Breweries—and Meaderies—WarPigs Brewing (IN), Magnanimous Brewing (FL), Black Sky Brewery (CO), Brimming Horn Meadery (DE), Black Circle Brewing (IN), Brujos Brewing (OR), Zymurgy Brewing (WI), Jukes Ale Works (NE), plus pours from Hammerheart Brewing (MN) and Ratio Beerworks (CO).
