Aerosmith Rocker at Big Y Today

Tonight at 5 p.m., Aerosmith drummer and Rockin’ & Roastin’ creator, Joey Kramer, will make an appearance at Big Y in Walpole. 

In July, Kramer announced that his Rockin’ & Roastin’ organic coffee line would grace the shelves of all 59 Big Y locations throughout Massachusetts and Connecticut.

To celebrate this partnership, Kramer will hit up Big Y to mix and mingle with local shoppers and fans alike. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet, chat and pose for photos with Kramer, while checking out the latest offerings from Rockin’ & Roastin’. Kramer also will be personalizing Rockin’ & Roastin’ purchases with his legendary signature, making it a delicious collector’s item.

Available in whole-bean and ground versions, Kramer’s trio of brews from Ethiopia, Guatemala and Sumatra are currently on the shelves of Big Y in Walpole retailing for $7.99-$8.99 per 12-ounce bag. 

ABOUT ROCKIN’ & ROASTIN’ COFFEE

Joey Kramer of Aerosmith is a coffee-loving Rock n’ Roll Hall of Famer. The story of Joey Kramer’s Rockin’ & Roastin’ organic, custom-roasted coffee blends begins in the field. Unlike “sun grown” coffee that’s cheaper to produce but requires chemical fertilizers and pesticides and leads to the destruction of native rainforests, Rockin’ & Roastin’ Coffee is lovingly cultivated using the traditional “shade grown” method, under a canopy of indigenous trees. This sustainable practice supports a wide diversity of plant and animal life, provides food and shelter to migrating birds, and helps to filter carbon dioxide from the air, reducing the danger of global warming. There is currently a trio of international blends offered: two Dark roasts, from Sumatra and Ethiopia; and, a Dark-Medium, hailing from Guatemala.
