Coffee&Milk

Trying to write a beer description for COFFEE&MILK IPA without littering it with tasteless Viper Room analogies and cliché references to the D.A.R.E. program is much harder than we anticipated. So instead, let's break it down in a straightforward manner. As strange as it sounds, we find many similarities between light roast coffee and hops, so we teamed up with Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters in Sacramento to create a blend of beans that would match the profiles of some of our favorite hops. With notes of orange marmalade, Asian pear, peaches, and a bright stone fruit-like acidity, we felt this coffee was the perfect pairing for a blend of some of our favorite hops. To mellow out the bitterness from the coffee, we added plenty of milk sugar, providing a creamy body and aiding in melding the flavor profile between hops flowers and coffee beans. Similar flavor profiles assist each other, like Stockton and Malone, creating even bolder orange, peach, pear, and lemon notes. COFFEE&MILK is a refreshing coffee beer that is rich, bright, and fruity instead of dark and roasty, so be efficient, order a COFFEE&MILK IPA, and get both vices in one glass.
