Sitting around with nothing to do? Deftones have just the beer for the occasion: Bored Blueberry Wheat Ale, the latest collaboration between the alt-metal heroes and the Belching Beaver brewing company.
Bored beer — named after the leadoff track on the band’s 1995 debut album Adrenaline — is flavored with blueberries and a touch of vanilla, and it’s not too strong at 4.5% ABV. It will be available at all Belching Beaver taprooms beginning this Friday (August 9th), and can be ordered online via Craft Shack.
Deftones have collaborated with Belching Beaver on a number of beers over the years, including Phantom Bride IPA, Swerve City IPA and Good Morning Beautiful brown ale, among others.
The band’s new beer arrives following their Lollapalooza performance, and preceding their upcoming one-off show with System of a Down at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco on August 17th.
Deftones are also set to headline the 2024 edition of their annual Dia De Los Deftones festival on November 2nd in San Diego, where they’ll be joined on the bill by IDLES, Sunny Day Real Estate, Health, and more.
Both the San Francisco gig and the Dia De Los Deftones festival are sold out, but fans can check for tickets on StubHub, where your purchase is 100% guaranteed through StubHub’s Fan Protect program.
