Branch Point Whiskey Coffee Release Block Party @ Caravan Coffee
Branch Point Distillery is teaming up with Caravan Coffee for their 5th annual whiskey coffee release. We’ve collaborated once again with the talented members at Caravan Coffee in Newberg to create a unique whiskey coffee bean offering.
What’s the process: first, we lend a TRIT Straight Whiskey barrel to the fantastic roasters at Caravan Coffee. Next, they proceed to age their coffee beans inside the barrel before roasting, this allows the beans to take on some of the flavors and aromas of the whiskey in that barrel. This creates a subtle, yet delicious flavor that changes year after year.
This year we will be heading over to Caravan Coffee's parking lot in Newberg where we will be pouring whiskey samples and cocktails, whiskey coffee, Food trucks available, raffle baskets and more. Celebrate with us and Caravan Coffee and be sure to pick up a bag of this new whiskey coffee blend.
