Skeletonwitch’s new EP, The Apothic Gloom, has debuted in the Billboard music charts at #7 for Hard Music, while landing in the Top 20 for Top Independent Albums and Top 100 for Top Current Albums.

To further the celebration of it's success, the band have teamed up with Indiana based craft brewery 3 Floyds Brewing Co. to debut the Red Death Sour ale.

Guitarist Scott Hedrick announced, "It's no secret that Skeletonwitch have an affinity for beer. It only makes sense that we partnered with one of the most "metal" and consistently top-notch breweries out there. The Red Death awaits you. Fall into the depths."

At 8.5%, the "Red Death Sour" is a thirst-quenchimg tart ale with juicy hints of tropical fruit-pineapple, mellow funky cheese and a slight barnyard dry finish topped with cherry, raspberry, pear and plum aromas.

3 Floyds Head Brewer, Chris Boggess adds, "Red Death is the product of an unholy blend of a sour grand cru fermented and aged in a foeder for 18 months and a Cherry Imperial Berliner Weisse.”

The beer will be available on tap and bottled at 3 Floyds Brewery in Munster, Indiana and throughout their distribution area (Chicagoland, Indiana and select cities in OH, KY and WI) on Labor Day. Due to the year long fermenting process of the sour, the first batch was limited to only 100 barrels, make sure to check www.3floyds.com to find out where you can pick one up before they are gone.
