Anyone planning on heading down?

I'm considering, depending on what ends up on tap vs the weather and getting soaked during the walk....

Fathom IPA infused with concentrated cold-brewed coffee from Just Us! Coffee Roasters.

Head Barista Liz Bishop, has been roasting small custom test batches of beans specifically for fortifying Fathom IPA so help me out with this series. Once we're satisfied it's as good as can be, it'll move from weekly firkins to the taps.

PS: I've made some pretty big changes to this most recently tapped batch of Fathom so give it a go straight up!

I will be there, probably between 5 and 6. Looking forward to coffee fathom!

WHY DO I LIVE IN THE VALLEY!?

(actually I love it here, but I would like to have this firkin beer)

Last week's firkin avec coffee was awesome, and I can't stop thinking about it/wanting more, so it super sucks that I can't come tonight. However, the fact that it'll be on tap shortly is excellent news.

Can we get some info on the cold-brewed methods used?

Also, did you just dump in the cold brew into the firkin with the beer, or is there a more complicated 'infusing' process?

I'm sure the infinite combinations of coffee brewing parameters (bean/water ratio, steep time, etc, etc) and cold-brew to beer volume ratios mean honing in on a 'great' coffee infused brew has gotta be tricky. I'm sort of just looking for a starting point to start experimenting myself. I've always liked the idea of a strongly concentrated cold-brew just 'poured into' various beers right outta the tap.

Curious to see said pictures of this cask beer btw..

Keely, You need to persuade Nash to move to the Valley.

Looking like I'll be in for the July 2nd Firkin and other great beers!

Edited... apparently I don't know what Firkin month I'm on vacation.

That gives me an idea.

There's some good looking single women up here who like beer. Some good food up here too, in the beautiful Annapolis valley, away from the rat race.

So what did folks think of the coffee infused IPA?

Keith · Post by **Keith** » Tue Jul 01, 2014 7:44 am

If nothing sudden pops up. See you guys tomorrow. Who's all going?

GAM · Post by **GAM** » Tue Jul 01, 2014 8:30 am

Hope to pop in for a quick one.

Clearly, everyone was stunned by it!

It was decent but no show stopper. It will be epic with the right roast and extraction method. We'll keep at 'er.

Heading to RB for today's firkin (probably something coffee infused?); I know Keith is on his way in as well...

On vacation so not heading into town. Enjoy!

So this Wednesday Jim Meek of Kissiwippi brewing in Ottawa will be there to sample a few and begin a Halifax beer tour that ends at Stillwell. All welcome to make it a crawl.

Kichesippi?

Brewnoser · Post by **Brewnoser** » Wed Jul 23, 2014 4:17 pm

Yeah. And his name isn't Jim. It's Paul

Brewnoser · Post by **Brewnoser** » Wed Jul 23, 2014 4:19 pm

Today's Firkin should be great.

Brewnoser · Post by **Brewnoser** » Wed Jul 23, 2014 4:20 pm

Citra Dryhopped APA. I am assuming it's the APA from upstairs. My fave beer in the city at the moment.

Post by **LeafMan66_67** » Wed Jul 23, 2014 4:21 pm

Heading down now

Don't go announcing it to the world now. Stuff's been sold out every time i'm in.
