Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine is preparing to launch an exclusive Megadeth beer in partnership with the world-class craft brewery Unibroue.
Unibroue is among the most highly awarded breweries in North America. Its beers have earned over 296 international medals to date.
Get ready for À Tout Le Monde, a Belgian-style saison ale made in Quebec, Canada and coming soon to a location near you.

À Tout Le Monde is not Mustaine‘s first foray into the business of alcoholic beverages. Back in 2014, the Megadeth leader teamed up with Fallbrook Winery winemaker Vernon Kindred to create the Mustaine Vineyards Cabernet.
Mustaine, who was raised as a Jehovah’s Witness and is now a born-again Christian, spoke to the Reno Gazette-Journal in 2013 about his own struggles with addiction and how his spirituality aided in his recovery.
“It’s really weird,” he said. “I was forced to go to AA [Alcoholics Anonymous]. And I hated it. But I had come to a point where I knew that the jig was up. The thing was, God had entered my life and he sent me to AA. Then after I got sober at AA, he sent me back to him. Now I have this real simple, easy-Dave-and-the-Big-Guy relationship. There’s no middle man. No funky stuff. No having to pay dues or membership or anything. And I don’t push my beliefs on anyone. It’s about attraction, not promotion.”
Dave admitted in a 2007 interview with Decibel magazine that he is “not a sober person,” adding that “I’ll have a glass of wine once in a while.”
Megadeth have premiered their video for the new single ‘Post American World’, along with complete details for the fall dates for the North American leg of their Dystopia World Tour. The tour kicks off in Casper, WY on September 20th and will take them across the US, visiting 16 states with special guests to include Amon Amarth, Suicidal Tendencies, Metal Church and Havok.

Meanwhile, the current single ‘Post American World’ takes an unflinching and timely look at the state of the modern world, and the dark vision of the Jake Macpherson-directed video takes the subject matter in still more menacing directions. Most other artists are unwilling to tread in this territory, preferring veiled metaphors, or more often, completely ignoring the most important topics of our day. But with their current album Dystopia, Megadeth refused to compromise their craft and identity, and as such have again set the pace for modern metal.
Dave Mustaine comments: “The filming of Post American World was an eerie video shoot right from the beginning. Shot in just one day with only our guitars and drums, I knew that this was going to be amazing. There is something to be said about the simplicity of an artist and only his guitar or drums. This is clearly a “less is more” concept and director Jake Macpherson nailed it!“
The raw and uncensored video can be viewed in its entirety below.
