Deftones have once again teamed up with Belching Beaver Brewery for a new pale ale celebrating their latest album ‘Ohms’.
The beer, which follows last year’s ‘White Pony’ 20th anniversary IPA, will be available in select cities in the US in the coming days. According to Belching Beaver, the beer is “hands down, one of the best thirst-quenching and flavourful beers we’ve ever brewed for you all”.
“Super stoked to announce our partnership with Deftones is five years strong and our newest release coming out is Ohms Pale Ale,” the brewery wrote on Instagram. “The first thing you’ll notice is the bright, citrusy aromas coming off of this generously dry-hopped pale ale. There’s plenty of lemon peel, grapefruit, and pineapple aromas with a blend of some light pine to give a more nuanced and complex tableau that isn’t found in a lot of pale ales.

It will surprise exactly no one that most of the biggest beer and beverage stories of 2020 revolve around the most impactful happening of this or any year: the covid-19 pandemic. Public response to the coronavirus wreaked havoc on the everyday business of serving beer.
Workers catch the brunt of the pandemic
The beer industry came into the year credited with making a billion dollar-plus economic impact annually, while directly employing about 6,500.
The loss of such jobs has been the most widespread impact of the pandemic, as shutdowns and heavily restrictive social distancing guidelines forced many breweries to cut employee hours, furlough staff, or lay them off altogether.
