Sample bitters and then some until your tap stops! Because Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest: Los Angeles will return to downtown L.A. on Friday and Saturday, December 10-11, 2021. That’s right, Decibel—North America’s only monthly metal magazine—will bring the loudest, heaviest, most extreme craft beer festival to the Belasco in Los Angeles, CA.

Metallic hardcore legends Converge will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their landmark album Jane Doe with an exclusive west coast full performance of the record on Friday night, while fellow New England juggernauts Cave In will close out the festivities on Saturday evening with the first-ever performance of their classic debut Until Your Heart Stops in its entirety.

If that wasn’t enough, recently reunited metallic hardcore gods Deadguy will bring their Fixation on a Coworker lineup to perform their first Los Angeles show ever. Phoenix thrash rulers Sacred Reich will head west, followed by fellow Arizona death dealers Gatecreeper, grindcore godfathers Repulsion will bring blasts from the past, Creepsylvania cannibals Ghoul will serve their splatterthrash, while revered thrash punk crew Early Graves will perform their final show ever.

The already stacked bill, presented by Century Media Records, will be rounded out by traditional metal-inspired trio Night Demon, epic doom battalion Crypt Sermon (performing their first-ever CA show), Bay area death dealers Ripped to Shreds, power grind-crushers ACxDC, Sin City bruisers SpiritWorld and L.A. heavy metal torchbearers Saber.

Not to be outdone by the bands, the country’s most metal breweries will converge in a maelstrom of malt madness! Presenting Brewery Adroit Theory (VA) will join Featured Breweries Wake (IL) and Widowmaker (MA) to lead a murderers’ row of brewtality including Burial (NC), Soundgrowler (IL) and Three Weavers (CA), Claremont Craft Ales (CA), Societe Brewing Co. (CA), Ogopogo Brewing (CA), Ghost Town Brewing, (CA) — and our first non-alcoholic brewery — Athletic Brewing (CA), all assembling for an unforgettable weekend of suds and thuds.
