"We design beers to showcase a particular ingredient that we love, and we take pride in cultivating long-lasting relationships with the creators of those ingredients," said Jon Cadoux, Founder of Peak Organic Brewing Co.. "The only thing we enjoy nearly as much as beer, is coffee. For this year's vintage of Espresso Amber Ale, we're partnering with Irving Farm Coffee Roasters out of Millerton, NY. They source, roast and brew supremely delicious coffee, using an ethos that we are proud to support. Their relationships with the growers of the beans are pretty remarkable, and it shows in the quality of the coffee. "
Espresso Amber Ale is a robust amber ale brewed with Organic, Fair Trade coffee sourced by Irving Farm from the Capucas Coop in Honduras. The malty amber ale is brewed with substantial amounts of Munich Malt, providing a perfect backbone for the rich, roasty flavor imparted by the coffee.
The companies will host a joint launch party at Irving Farm's 88 Orchard St location in New York City on Friday March 7th. Espresso Amber Ale and artisan coffees from Irving Farm will be served and celebrated. The event is free and open to the public, with complimentary food, beer and coffee from 6-10pm.
