For Green Day, this isn’t their first adventure into coffee. The band established their first coffee company, Oakland Coffee back in 2015. Now, there’s Punk Bunny Coffee, featuring organic, Fair Trade Certified coffees. Punk Bunny announced a partnership with Keurig Dr. Pepper earlier this year to join the Keurig K-Cup pod system as well.
“We are on the road celebrating 20 years of American Idiot all summer,” Billie Joe Armstrong, lead singer of Green Day said in a statement. “Our buses and back stages have been stocked with our coffee company’s first ever signature brewer. Now, we can finally announce this release and hope you guys love it as much as we do!”
“What’s impressive about Green Day is their unwavering passion for both their music and their coffee,” Becky Opdyke, Senior Vice President, Coffee Marketing at Keurig Dr Pepper said. “After working closely with the band on our Punk Bunny partnership, we were inspired to design a brewer that embodies their enthusiasm and celebrates one of their biggest accomplishments. We’re excited to deliver a piece of the band right to fans’ kitchen counters.”
The custom brewer is inspired by American Idiot’s iconic album artwork and beloved lyrics and is described as embodying a piece of cultural phenomenon for music and coffee lovers alike. As for the coffee, fans are able to enjoy their favorite Punk Bunny Coffee blends over ice, which makes it a perfect option for not only lovers of hot coffee, but iced coffees as well. Fans wanting to get their hands on the limited-edition kit just need to go here. The kit goes on sale August 20th and sells for $159.99.
