When we found out that Odd Future debuted a special edition beer at their pop-up shop in Paris, we thought it would be a good time to list off some of the weirdest musician-owned or musician-endorsed alcohol brands we could find. Cheers!

With record sales steadily declining, musicians have had to become more creative entrepreneurially in order to bridge the gap. If having celebrity fragrance is the biggest cash cow when it comes to musicians buying-in/selling-out, then being the face of a celebrity-endorsed alcohol brand seems to be a close second. You can’t download liquid, guys. Yet.

When we found out that Odd Future debuted a special edition beer at their pop-up shop in Paris, we thought it would be a good time to list off some of the weirdest musician-owned or musician-endorsed alcohol brands we could find. Cheers!

Odd Future – OF X Warsteiner Special Edition (Beer)

Is Odd Future’s fan-base even old enough to drink?

Willie Nelson – Old Whiskey River (Bourbon)

I really thought Willie would have went with a hemp-brewed beer, or something.

Hanson – MMMHop (Beer)

MMMStop.

Michael Wilton of Queensryche – Whip Ale (Beer)

This actually feels about right. Anyone who listens to Queensryche for sure likes beer.

A lot.

Marilyn Manson – Mansinthe (Absinthe)

I heard a rumour that he makes an entire crowd of his fans spit in a bowl, then he adds it to the absinth before bottling it. Also, I hear that he’s Paul from The Wonder Years.

Justin Timberlake – 901 Silver (Tequila)

Hey Justin, when you’re done playing movie star, owning Myspace, and bottling tequila, we’d really just like you to make a new record, ok?

Vince Neil – Tres Rios (Tequila)

Is it really appropriate for a guy who got drunk and killed someone to endorse a tequila?

AC/DC – AC/DC: The Wine (Wine, duh)

Because AC/DC fans sure do seem like a sophisticated wine-drinking bunch.

Diddy – Ciroc (Vodka)

You can’t get 30 seconds into a hip-hop music video without seeing a bottle of Ciroc. Someone needs to tell rappers that drinking flavoured vodka doesn’t make you tough.

Ludacris – Conjure (Cognac)

If you rub the bottle, it conjures a genie version of Ludacris who will grant you three wishes. God, I wish that was a movie.

Santana – DVX (Sparkling Wine)

It’s the only thing that makes a 9-minute guitar solo by Santana tolerable.

Sammy Hagar – Cabo Wabo (Tequila)

It could never be as good as David Lee Roth’s tequila.

Lil’ Jon – Little Jonathan Winery (Wine)

When they asked Lil’ Jon if he wanted a winery, out of reflex, he replied “YEAH! OKAY!”

Lil’ Jon hasn’t said “no” to anything in years.

Pharrell Williams – Qream (Liqueur)

The “Q” is for how queasy it’ll make you.

Dave Matthews – Dreaming Tree Wines (Wine)

“Mmm, do I detect a hint of Birkenstock?”
