Andy Thomas of Rivers of Nihil & I have a conversation about how he coped with his time off, the evolution of his craft beer palate, leaving Black Crown Initiate, joining Rivers of Nihil, mental health & his hangover cure.

Throughout this chat, Andy drank Collective Arts Brewing's "Audio/Visual Lager" the 4.9% Lager while I enjoyed their "Life in the Clouds" 6.1% IPA.

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.

Make sure to check out Vox&Hops' Brewtal Awakenings Playlist which has been curated by the Metal Architect Jerry Monk himself on either Spotify or Apple Music. This playlist is packed with all the freshest, sickest & most extreme albums each week!!!

This episode was recorded at Eggspectation (Complexe Desjardins) in Montreal, Québec, Canada.
