Please enjoy this convenient distraction from your daily life. We sure enjoyed taking a break from our everyday "grind" one afternoon at the brewery to meet a very passionate local coffee roaster who was interested in a possible collaboration. This is the result an imperial porter brewed with Madagascar vanilla beans and Ruby Roasters coffee.

First sips, I thought maybe I had Covid: am I losing my taste? Turns out it’s just a really thin porter. The coffee did come out more later, tho. Watching The Circle, Emma Watson is a Convenient distraction for this plot full of holes.
