Market of Choice in Beaverton has a neat tap bar with beer and wine pours and growler-filling. Our Coffee Milk Stout, produced with Unicorn Brewing's Jason Webb and formulator John Lovegrove, is in the beer rotation as of this week. Filled some growlers yesterday, go get some! ABV 6.7, 19 IBU. Unicorn's fermenter brewing batch #2, we'll be adding the new crop Ernesto Vasquez Santa Elena microlot in a couple of weeks and for the foreseeable future...a formidable coffee and excellent companion to an awesome beer. As pictured here, ask for tap #7

Got word this week from Mayra Orellana-Powell, marketing manager of our esteemed partners/importers Royal Coffee, that our fave producer, Ernesto Vasquez (farm "El Durazno Melocoton") of the Catracha Coffee Project in Santa Elena, Honduras, produced an excellent lot and it will be making its way here soon. Fantastic coffee...the one we used to produce a coffee beer with collaboration of Jason Webb of Portland's Unicorn Brewing....chocolatey, lively acidity, banana leaf, vanilla. Can't wait! This coffee will make it into our offering sheet as well as the next production run of Badbeard's Coffee Stout, which is currently on tap at the Beaverton Market of Choice.

Mayra is doing amazing things...REAL "eco-activism" for her hometown community of Santa Elena...here she is addressing an SCAA assembly. Thanks Mayra and husband Lowell Powell and all the besties at Royal!
