Belching Beaver + Deftones Front Row Pack

San Diego’s Belching Beaver has been collaborating with Deftones for years. And working with the SoCal alternative metal band Belching Beaver has produced some of its most acclaimed beers. Now with eight Deftones collaborations under their belt and the winter holidays coming  Belching Beaver is releasing its first ever variety pack featuring all Deftones collaborations.

The 8-pack 16oz can package features four Deftones collaboration beers, including one that hasn’t been released since 2018.

Every beer is named after a classic Deftones song and here’s what’s in it…

• Ohms is a 5.5% Pale Ale. It’s the Deftones Pale Ale collaboration that they’ve done.
• Digital Bath is a 6.5% ABV New England-style IPA, brewed with Citra, Galaxy, Mosaic, Nelson, Simcoe Cryo hops.
• Good Morning Beautiful is a 5.5% ABV Brown Ale crafted with Coffee, Coconut and Maple. It was the brewery’s third effort with the Deftones and hasn’t been released since 20128.
• Phantom Bride is a delicately balanced 7.1% ABV IPA that is named after one of the Deftones most ethereal songs.

“When putting together this variety pack, we wanted to include something for everyone,” said Haley Smith Marketing Manager at Belching Beaver Brewery. “We also wanted to find styles that fit the season, and that’s when we decided to bring back Good Morning Beautiful.”

Dubbed the “Front Row Pack,” this product will start rolling out to retail shelves starting on November 12.
