Mammoth Espresso has partnered with Founders Brewing to showcase cold brewed coffee blended with craft beer

It’s craft beer week, and tonight we’re celebrating with a special collaboration between Mammoth Espresso and Founders Brewing. Come join us at Ale on Oak tonight at 7 pm to wet your whistle with a tasting flight featuring Founders’ Backwoods Bastard and a special cold brew prepared by Mammoth Espresso. The flight consists of a pour of Backwoods Bastard, a Rwandan cold brew and a blend of the two.

Backwoods Bastard is a barrel aged ale with heavy aromatics of oaky bourbon barrel and roasted malt. It features notes of scotch, vanilla and subtle hints of cola, orange liqueur and nutmeg. The Rwanda cold brew Mammoth Espresso has prepared is roasted by Madcap Coffee and boasts big chocolate aromatics and a heavy dose of milk chocolate and caramel balanced by notes of stone fruit, fresh tomato and a buttery mouthfeel.

When blended together, the cold brew/ale pairing exhibits the same oaky bourbon aromatics, with notes of chocolate cream soda, dark spiced rum and a crisp Fuji apple finish. Tonight’s pouring flight is the perfect opportunity for craft coffee and beer lovers to unite!

San Sebastian Colombian coffee roasted by Madcap Coffee Co

In spring 2016 we introduced San Sebastian here at Mammoth Espresso and it was an immediate crowd pleaser. We’re happy to share this new harvest from Huila, Colombia, with you. Look for notes of milk chocolate, cherry, citrus and subtle jasmine in this balanced, crisp coffee. San Sebastian also makes an excellent iced coffee and we’ll have it routinely as our featured espresso.

Roasted by Madcap Coffee, San Sebastian is the product of small shareholders around the town of La Plata in Huila, a famed coffee producing region in southwest Colombia. San Sebastian is comprised of 30 lots of the nearly one thousand evaluated to make this exceptionally selective coffee. The area surrounding La Plata is ideal for coffee production, with high elevations, plenty of rainfall and cool temperatures.

The farmers in La Plata are also assisted by the Asociacion de Productores de Cafe de Alta Calidad del Occidente del Huila (OCCICAFE), which helps to build skills and knowledge that lead to long term sustainability within this coffee community. By working with OCCICAFE, the farmers of La Plata have seen greater yields and higher quality, which, in turn, leads to a higher market value for their coffee.

Here’s a look at our full coffee lineup:

San Sebastian (Colombia)
Crisp, floral, citrus and balanced
Region: La Plata, Huila
Variety: Caturra and Bourbon

Kiryama (Burundi)
Sweet, plum, blackberry and lavender
Region: Kayanza
