Guest Barista-ing

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…

On tap

49th Parallel El Salvador La Montaña
Excellent coffee for everyday drinking. Well expressed acidity and classic El Salvador profile.

Bulleit Bourbon
By far the best bourbon available in BC for the price. $35 for a bottle gets you the highest rye content bourbon on the market. Lots of spice and typical bourbon corn sweetness. Excellent on its own, but also makes a mean Old Fashioned. Better than Knob Creek in my books and pretty close to Woodford Reserve.
