Uncommon Grind IPA

When our buddies at Joe Van Gogh Coffee Roasters told us they'd be down to work with us on a barrel-aging project for a special beer we had in mind, we got more than a little excited—these guys make fantastic coffee, and we use their stuff in a number of different beers we make, from our year-round St. Benedict's Breakfast to our seasonal milk stout series, like our Javanog Cream Stout. A lot of folks brew coffee stouts, brown ales, porters and the like with coffee added, so we thought we'd push the envelope a little and brew a malt-forward, unfiltered West Coast IPA with a little more punch than usual from caramel-laden Fantasia hops, then infuse it with over 30 pounds of apple brandy barrel-aged coffee beans roasted just for us by the lovely humans at Joe Van Gogh.

Uncommon Grind IPA is a unique project that blurs a few styles that we think you're gonna really enjoy. Don't forget to pick up a bag or two of our Uncommon Grind whole coffee beans as well, so you can enjoy the luxurious flavor & aroma of apple brandy & bourbon oak in your morning coffee.
