More Beer is the second studio album by Fear, released in 1985 (see 1985 in music).[5][6] Frontman Lee Ving spent over a year producing the album.

## Critical reception

[edit]

The Encyclopedia of Popular Music wrote that More Beer "repeated the debut album's formula, with occasional stylistic variation but little else to recommend it."[3] Trouser Press wrote that the album "belch[es] forth a hops-drenched worldview that could only offend the most humorless knee-jerk liberal — plenty of whom had infiltrated the hardcore movement by the time of the album’s release."[7]
