Deftones are joining the ranks of Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Megadeth and many others in releasing their own signature beer.
The California natives have teamed up with San Diego's Belching Beaver Brewery for a beer they are calling Phantom Bride IPA, named after their recent single. It is brewed and bottled by Belching Beaver Brewery, Vista or Oceanside, California. San Diego County. The beer is described as a "a hoppy West Coast style India Pale Ale loaded up with Mosaic, Amarillo, Simcoe, and Citra hops, all handpicked by Deftones frontman, Chino Moreno." Moreno says of the venture:
"Really excited to see our Phantom Bride IPA hit the shelves. As a huge beer connoisseur it was a privilege collaborating with Belching Beaver on the flavor profiles and coming out with a beer that I would put right up with any of my favorites. Good stuff!"
According to Lambgoat, the beer is already available in Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Hawaii, and California today. The beer will be sold at craft beer shops including BevMo! starting October 3rd in draft and 22 ounce bottles.
