We teamed up with our neighbors up at our Lee Hill brewery, Dragonfly Coffee Roasters, for a limited release collaboration that’s sure to perk you right up – a Yirgacheffe Coffee Dubbel.

“We decided to try something that wasn’t the typical coffee beer,” said our Head of Barrel Aging and Special Projects, Charlie Condon. “We felt the Dubbel would be a great platform for the coffee Tamas (Owner of Dragonfly Coffee Roasters) selected.”
Yirgacheffe coffee beans
The particular Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee utilized in this beer 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, gently drying cacao-nib like finish.
According to Charlie, they decided to use Orbit hops, which are a southern hemisphere blend of hop varietals that he describes as having blueberry notes.
Preparing the coffee grounds to enter the brew
Both the coffee and beer come together to create a sweet aroma somewhere between cotton candy and plums, balanced against a subtle earthiness.

This beer is sure to please, and change any preconception you may have of what a “coffee beer” is supposed to be.
Join us Thursday, April 30 at our Lee Hill tap room for the release starting at 5 pm!
