whats on your playlist while you brew, i usually listen to the stones man i just feel like the beer loves the stones
I do music for a living, so when I brew I want something that doesn’t remind me of work! I tend to listen to NPR…Car Talk, Whaddya Know, Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, This American Life, Prairie Home Companion…
my brewday usually has a “soundtrack”… recently it’s been phish one day, tool one day, the OM records 3cd comp that was released a couple or so years ago…
tomorrow it’s going to be miles davis complete live at the plugged nickel…
Random playlists.
Slayer to Jaques Brel to Black Flag to Waylon Jennings to…
Keeps it interesting.
Last brew session, it was the Dead @ swing aud 77, Keller Williams and Frank Zappa.
never one particular band
Ranges anywhere from Ween to Zappa to Captain Beefheart to Hendrix to Johnny Cash to… just set the disc changer to random and let it work it’s magic.
Ben Harper and the Relentless 7, and Ryan Adams with a little Dave Mathews thrown in.
I always have the iPod playing while I’m brewing. I set it to shuffle and listen to my whole collection about 5000 songs. Everything from classical to hard rock. It’s a part of the brewing process for me. 8)
I’ve got a mix CD playing for the brew session tonight. Dark Side of the Moon is on right now.
I would have to second Dave Matthews. Also, some John Butler Trio, maybe a little Jack Johnson or Brett Dennen.
Aargh! You guys are reminding me of how archaic my current brew shed is! I’m still piss-ant’ing pots, kegs and carboys around just so “I can” brew. :P No power in the brew shed yet… this spring and summer things will change though. 
For me it’s always classic rock.
Smooth Jazz & DooWop
ZAPPA!!!
When inside, my current “brew mix” consists of:
Clash, Manson, Eddie Vetter, vintage beer commercial snippets, Arcade Fire, Springsteen, Flaming Lips, Kansas, Floyd, Richard Thomas, Indigo Girls, Ramones
When outside: I got the squirrel, cardinal, bluejay, crow, and other birds doing the background soundtrack.
I like your style…
Cubs games during the baseball season, otherwise I won’t listen to anything or if I do listen to music it’s some kind of metal.
now that’s eclectic.
My first ever brew, I was listening to the Ramones, and that became somewhat of a tradition, though I might expand that these days and listen to a punk station on Rhapsody.
I don’t listen to music when I brew, except at Bluesmans brewery. I usually have tunes whirling around in my head anyway.
