Somewhere Between Slayer & Taylor Swift with Tom Smith of The Acacia Strain

Tom Smith of The Acacia Strain & I have a conversation about how he coped with 2020, his 1st brews, being straight edge for 5 years, the soundtrack of his youth, his 1st shows, T W Smith Guitars, Flick Filled Land Podcast, dropping Slow Decay during a pandemic, a The Acacia Strain brew, the best part of the pandemic & his hangover cure.

Throughout this chat, Tom was drinking Dssolvr 's Uppercuts & Lazer Tag. This Hazy IPA was hopped with Citra, Vic Secret Enigma, Mosaic, Citra Cryo & Mosaic Cryo Hops & clocked in with a 7.5% ABV. While I was enjoying 5e Baron 's "Néon Beach". This sick Double NEIPA poured out with a thick yellow hazy veil, smashed fresh apricots & tangerines on the nose, ripped a slightly sweet yet perfectly bitter pineapple finish & was simply phenomenal! It clocked in with a 8% ABV!

This is a Heavy Montreal presents Vox&Hops episode! Heavy Montreal is Montreal's premier metal promoter. They host one of North America's best Metal Festivals & present countless amazing events during the rest of the year. I am truly honored & extremely excited to have them involved in the podcast.
