Guest Barista-ing

Published July 26, 2007 Cafes , Calgary , Coffee

To all my Calgary readers, I will be pulling shots and helping out the guys at Phil&Sebastian this Saturday from 9-5. They’re located in the Calgary Farmer’s Market at the old CFB Calgary Currie Barracks. My other posts extol the virtues of P&S, so read the archives if you want to know how amazing these two guys (and their coffee) are. Working there makes me even more aware of what these guys are really doing, and I can assure you I can only think of one other shop in Canada that takes such a detailed approach to coffee.

Hope to see some of you on Saturday!

It would be great to see you there Peter, but we’re going to a wedding in Toronto… P&S should have one of those caricature walls with all the celebrity guest baristas.

Haha, I’m not sure if I qualify as celebrity. I just pull shots (and at P&S there are a lot of shots to pull). Hope Toronto was good! There should be some decent coffee there these days…

not at my workplace…but there are some around.

Intelligentsia Guatemala El Cuervo.
This is a great, solid Central American, one that's making me rethink my past preference Ethiopia. Smooth, silky body is great for sipping in Hydrogeology (or your class of choice). Milk chocolate and molasses.

Rogue XS 2007 Imperial Stout
This is a real beer. Maybe a super beer, as in a superhero. Huge dark, roasty malts make themselves apparent. It has an alcohol content greater than a lot of Rieslings (11% abv) but you can't tell until you stand up. Grab one of the trademark silkscreened 26 oz ceramic bottles at your local specialty beer merchant. Search hard, because in Canada, you need to know where to look. (Hint: in Vancouver try Brewery Creek on Main; in Calgary you might find it at Willow Park or Kensington Wine Market.)
