E263: Coffee and coffee beer with Apotheos Roastery

Bringing coffee and beer together makes for one great beverage

Adding coffee to beer in modern brewing only goes back a few decades but individually both have been enjoyed for centuries. For coffee, the story traces back to an Ethiopian goatherder who noticed his flock full of energy and "dancing" after eating a small red fruit off of some shrubs. The goatherder figured he'd give it a shot as well and soon joined his energetic goats. The origins of beer, as we've discussed before, isn't crystal clear, but suffice it to say beer has been a part of our lives for a long time.

We sat down this week with Apotheos Roastery's Adam Silverberg, Dale Hughes, and Jason White to learn more about that coffee origin story and how it spread across the world. White also shares some info with us on the roasting process and the flavors in coffee that compliment our beloved beers. We sample a few brews as we chat and we all left dancing like a bunch of goats.
