Expert Statements

Sam Calagione, Dogfish Head Brewer & Founder

“This collaboration is truly a full-circle moment for me. Joan Jett was my first-ever concert, and you know what they say, ‘you never forget your first,’”

Sam Calagione, Dogfish Head Brewer & Founder

“Watching Joan on stage cemented my love of rock ‘n’ roll music. She showed me, and so many other folks, that truly original music is all about creative expression, rebellion and challenging the status quo, all things we at Dogfish Head pride ourselves on when brewing beer.”

Joan Jett, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer

“I’ve always believed in doing things your own way, and Dogfish Head has that same spirit,”

Joan Jett, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer

“Looking forward to raising a glass of Jett Black Lager to 45 years of ‘I Love Rock ’N Roll’ and ‘Bad Reputation.’”

MILTON, Del., Oct. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A brewery with a music problem, Dogfish Head debuts a new, limited-edition beer in collaboration with Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, Joan Jett, to celebrate the 45(th) anniversaries of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts’ landmark albums, ‘Bad Reputation’ and ‘I Love Rock ‘n Roll.’ Beginning Tuesday, Oct. 27, at 9 a.m. PST / 12 p.m. EST, the duo’s collaborative brew, Jett Black Lager, will be available nationwide via Give Them Beer as part of a special beer and merchandise kit. While supplies last, Jett Black Lager kits will be priced at $45 each, inclusive of shipping. Purchase allowance is limited to one kit per person.

Like the music of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Jett Black Lager is approachable and timeless, while maintaining an off-centered, “don’t give a damn,” attitude. Brewed with barley malt, flaked maize and flaked rice, this crushable lager strikes a power chord with aromas of honey, herbs and black pepper, alongside smooth flavors of sweet breadcrust and light toast. Simply put … it’s a jet-black-colored brew (get it?) that’s as easy-drinking, crisp and clean-finishing as your favorite light beer.
