Pantera has become the latest band to expand its portfolio to include alcohol labels with a new beer brand, a first for the iconic metal band.

Pantera Golden Ale is set for release in March 2021 and will be brewed by Texas Ale Project, a Dallas-based brewery.

Packaging details are not currently known, but from the brief video embedded below, Pantera Golden Ale will be available in 12 oz. cans and is 5.4% Alc./Vol. It goes without saying that it’ll likely earn the re-SPECT of the band’s fan base upon its release.

7 Cocktails/Liquor Brands Associated with Rock Stars

• “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott – Black Tooth Grin

  Share

  Dimebag's signature drink featured two shots of Seagram's 7, two shots of Crown Royal and a splash of Coca-Cola. Basically, it'll get you to where you need to go and then some.

• Lemmy Kilmister – Jack and Coke

  Share

  How synonymous was Lemmy with the iconic Jack and Coke cocktail? Shortly after the Motorhead frontman died, an online petition went viral trying to get the drink renamed to "The Lemmy."

• The Rolling Stones – Tequila Sunrise

  Share

  The orange juice/Jose Cuervo/grenadine cocktail was introduced to Mick Jagger during a private party hosted by famed promoter Bill Graham. After that, it became the "unofficial cocktail" of the Stones' 1972 tour in support of 'Exile on Main Street,' and the rest is history.
• Janis Joplin – Southern Comfort

  Share

  Janis Joplin was so public with her love of Southern Comfort that it caused an increase in sales, which resulted in the company sending her a lynx fur coat as a "thank you."

• Freddie Mercury – Stolichnaya Vodka/Cristal

  Share

  Mercury's two drinks of choice, Stoli and Cristal, are just another part of his legend. Queen launched the limited edition Killer Queen Vodka in 2014. In the announcement of Killer Queen, Brian May said, "Freddie loved vodka and used to carry a dry ice cooler full of vodka with him on tour." As for the Cristal, that was Mercury's favorite champagne and would stock his fridge with dozens of bottles of it for parties.

• Sammy Hagar – Cabo Wabo Tequila

  Share

  Hagar arguably started the very popular trend of rock stars with their own liquor brands. Even though the Red Rocker has launched a number of different spirit labels, Cabo Wabo Tequila was his first, and it made him a very rich man. Hagar has since sold all of his stake in the brand, but when he first sold 80 percent of Cabo Wabo to Gruppo Campari in 2007, he earned $80 million.
• Zakk Wylde/Black Label Society – Johnnie Walker Black Label

  Share

  An obvious association, especially regarding Black Label Society's debut album 'Sonic Brew,' which featured the design of Johnnie Walker's Black Label Whisky label and bottle. Wylde, however, didn't get permission to use the Johnnie Walker imagery and was served with a cease and desist.
