Like the Portland counterpart, this fest features 13 coffee beers paired with doughnuts and coffee and takes place from 10:00 a.m … Continue reading
The headline on this non-alcoholic collaboration beer from Athletic Brewing and Super Coffee is “World’s First Pre-Workout Brew” which I can’t attest to, but the result is Suped Up, an extra dark brew with coffee. More interestingly, in addition to the coffee, the other unusual ingredient contributing to the character … Continue reading

Newport Avenue Market’s beer … Continue reading

This isn’t a beer review, but as I noted when I received these mixes, it is “brew” adjacent—as in coffee brew. Cask & Kettle, a Michigan-based company, developed a line of instant hot coffee cocktails designed to be used with single-serve Keurig coffee machines.
