Welcome to THTH, Forte’s premier source of all things heavy, hard, fast and metal.
Brewtality 2016 – a celebration of metal, rock and beer – is returning this year. To be held on Saturday August 6 at Collingwood’s Tote and The Bendigo Hotel, this year’s line up features Dreadnaught, The Levitation Hex, Frankenbok, Toe To Toe, Orpheus Omega, Colossvs, Decimatus, Odiusembowel, Daemon Pyre, Black Like Vengeance, The Devil Rides Out and many more. True to the festival’s name, the 2015 Brewtality festival was completely sold out and it broke the highest ever bar taking record at The Tote and The Bendigo Hotel, which is an impressive feat all who attended last year. You should be proud of and should really remove any doubt that Aussie metal heads are the greatest drinkers in the world!
