Grinder’d

Who got a Barazta Virtuoso?  That’s right. Me. Finally a grinder that doesn’t burn off a ton of calories early in the morning. This is exciting. More on the grinder later. I expect to have a whole review up soon.

I will again be working at Phil and Sebastian Coffee this weekend, but this time both Saturday and Sunday. It’s supposed to be a bit cooler, so it’s a perfect time to peruse the market. Introduce yourself… I’m the one with the plaid fedora…

On tap

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.)
