GWAR Partners with Concept Cafes to Unleash Berserker Mode Coffee Announces Meet & Greet with Blothar + Blood Drive Sunday, March 9 at Park Ave CDs Orlando, FL
Prepare your taste buds for battle—GWAR has teamed up with Concept Cafes and Coterie Coffee Co. to bring you a brew as brutal as their music and stage show: BERSERKER MODE COFFEE!
Roasted high on a pyre of smoldering destruction, Berserker Mode is a bold, bodacious java, savagely sticky with muddy molassesness and foul-fruited candy sweetness—a real teeth-grinder of a roast. This isn’t your average morning pick-me-up. This is coffee forged in legend, powered by Blothar the Berserker’s grievous wrath, and brewed for only the mightiest of warriors.
According to ancient lore, Blothar the Berserker—frontman of the greatest shock rock band in the history of the universe, GWAR—once roamed the icy seas in a Viking longship. Lost and alone, he was lured by a green, split-tailed mermaid, her siren song calling him to the Indonesian archipelago. But his love was unrequited, and in his sorrow, Blothar wept like a 1000-pound baby.
From his bitter tears, coffee plants sprouted across the land of Java. And thus, Berserker Mode Coffee was born—a heady and powerful drink, crafted to fuel his rage before battle. Historians may claim Viking berserkers were jacked up on psychedelics, but GWAR knows the truth: it was coffee that drove them to insane battle-lust!
Blothar the Berserker says:
“The best part of getting blackout drunk is Berserker Mode Coffee. Each sip is infused with the bitter sorrow of unrequited love and that nagging feeling that something really weird happened last night. Berserker Mode Coffee is a savage brew fit for shock rock royalty. I sure feel like the King on my throne after sucking down a pot.”
Now, for the first time, GWAR’s Berserker Mode Coffee is available to the masses. Whether preparing for battle, a brutal mosh pit, or just another soul-crushing day at work, this high-octane, savage roast will awaken your inner berserker.
Mike Tonsetic of Concept Cafes shares:
“My first intro to GWAR was 1992, freshman year of high school, when my girlfriend’s older brother showed up to school one morning in a white tee covered in fresh steamy GWAR-gasm, obviously from a show the night before; he was obsessed and made us watch bootleg VHS concerts. LOL. I just remember (if memory serves) Oderus going straight up ‘Omen’ on JPII (the Pontiff) with a giant crucifix and I was like WTF…I’m hooked on the atomic crack and have been ever since!!! Think the raddest part in the opportunity to collab with GWAR is the fact that not only are they one of the OGs of shock, but they’ve taken it to a whole other level, time & time again, over a legendary career; something we absolutely respect and admire, and strive to incorporate into everything we do.”
Berserker Mode Coffee is available now, roasted by Coterie Coffee Co. and brought to you by Concept Cafes.

About GWAR:
The story of GWAR is carved across the history of this hopeless planet, but GWAR themselves are not of this world…Their story begins far past Uranus, in the deepest reaches of space, where the beings known as GWAR were warriors in the Scumdogs of the Universe, an elite fighting force in the army of the Master of All Reality. But GWAR proved too reckless and powerful, and after a series of tragic but hilarious blunders, they were banished to the furthest reaches of the galaxy, with orders to conquer an insignificant backwater prehistoric mudball known as the planet Earth. Once here, GWAR, the original Ancient Aliens, shaped the face of the globe, wiping out the dinosaurs, and mating with apes to create the human race. Having accidentally given rise to all human history, the Master of All Reality froze them in Antarctic ice where they could do no more harm. It was there they were discovered by a shady entrepreneur known as Sleazy P Martini, who sat the band down in front of professional wrestling, late-night horror movies, heavy metal music, and a steady diet of crack cocaine until GWAR became the cultural force they are today!
About CONCEPT CAFES:
Everybody remembers that first opening riff, that mid-song breakdown, that blast beat crescendo that turned them on, and tuned them into Metal forever. With our artist partners like Cannibal Corpse, Max & Iggor Cavalera, and Ministry; we’re trying to recapture that moment of Metal possession for the fans by immersing them into a Metal coffee obsession like no other. As lifelong fans ourselves, we’re constantly seeking out the most epic Metal experiences; whether it’s records, live shows, merch, etc., so if we can maybe someday say we were a small part of that collective fan experience, then we’ve done our job. It’s also super important for us to illuminate the fact that these are the artists’ coffee stories, not our own, we’re just the chaotic-evil little elves that help them conjure their visions and forge them into reality for the fans.
We’re not here to snobbishly push conventional coffee culture upon Metalheads either, nor will we ever try to flip a quick gimmick on our Metal brothers & sisters to make a quick buck. We’re humbled literally everyday with this responsibility, and the opportunity to work with Metal legends. This is why we are constantly pushing the boundaries and possibilities, because foremost we believe there is no other comparison to the dedicated devotion metalheads have in keeping Metal music alive and stronger than ever! Metal deserves the absolute best when it comes to coffee!
Reality is coffee culture has become basic cookie-cutter over the past couple of decades; so safe and just a shell of itself which once fueled artists and their music across several generations. We want to revive that creative fire, and as far as playing it safe…it’s metal, motorcycles, & horror…what did you expect?!
