ABOUT THE COFFEE // This naturally or “dry processed” Ethiopian Yirgacheffe is a exceptional example of a fruit forward yet intricately balanced coffee processed at the famous Idido cooperative in Yiragcheffe.Yirgacheffe is a coffee region in southern Ethiopia that produces distinctively floral- and fruit-toned coffees from traditional varieties of Arabica long grown in the region.This particular Yirgacheffe shows profound tones of blueberry, fragrant lily & musk in the aroma and cup with a light footed yet lively tangerine -like acidity and a well rounded and gently drying cacao-nib like finish. This is a true gem of a coffee that Dragonfly Coffee Roasters is proud to be able to offer to you!

ABOUT THE BEER // Brewed as a collaboration with our Lee Hill neighbors, Dragonfly Coffee Roasters, this unique beer combines the bubblegum esters of Belgian yeast with the roasty blueberry flavors and aromas of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee. The two come together to create a sweet aroma somewhere between cotton candy and plums, balanced against a subtle coffee earthiness. The flavor is a perfect balance between the semi-sweet flavors of the Dubbel and the smooth bitterness from the coffee. This beer is sure to please, and change any preconception you may have of what a “coffee beer” is supposed to be.

CHEERS!
