On this episode of Drips & Draughts, we’re joined by John Goerke and Spencer Weiner from Bona Fide Craft Draft in Santa Barbara, CA. Bona Fide Craft Draft provides kegged coffee to to both food service operators and now direct to consumers. As we often compare the draft coffee industry to the craft beer industry on this podcast, Bona Fide is definitely a leader in this space – pushing the limits and boundaries of what coffee is and how it can be delivered and consumed.

Today, we finish the final beer that we had lined up for our first “coffee beer” episode with our pal Jeff. The original coffee beer episode was Episode 021: Beers Made With Cold Brew and Coffee Beans.

As always, sampling coffee beers got us thinking about brewing and I think we’ve pretty much decided that our next beer with coffee in it will be a Vanilla Porter with Coffee.

On this episode, we’re joined once again by Elijah Elliott from Red Hat Coffee in San Diego California. Elijah joined us back on Episode 5 – Roasting Coffee with a Jet Engine which aired on back on May 16, 2016. Since then, Elijah and Red Hat Coffee have taken steps to expand the business by adding both a mobile cart where customers can serve themselves and make their own concoctions and they are also on their way to canning their nitro coffee.
