The Brew Bar

They say it will be rainning again next week.  Don’t get me wrong,  I love the rain and heaven knows we need it but when will we be getting a summer vacation?  I don’t have the answer but I am trying to bring it on by drinking some coffee mixed with gelato.  They call it an AffoGato.  I call it fantastico!

The classico version is made with two scoops of gelato, a shot of espresso, and topped with whipped cream.  I figure if everyone comes in for one soon things will turnaround.

Hey join me!

If you are like me this economy is keeping you close to home.  I wanted to visit Brazil, Argentina or Chile this year but alas I will have to settle for a local camping trip instead.

So to lift my spirits I decided to visit “the Brew Bar” and try a coffee from Brazil.  I found a great little coffee called Monte Alegre.  This slow roasted offering was just what i wanted.  This is a coffee to sit and sip.  I savored the subtle flavors without any bitterness and just the slightest acidity which gives it a long lasting nutty finish.

 Ok so it can replace a trip to Brazil but it did make my day.  Where should I go next?

Tried a cup made from what was called Ganesha Espresso beans.  This has an excellent aroma and floavor reminisent of chocolate.

I think I’ll have another cup.

OK, so I cupped another blend offered by Humberto today.  It’s  a secret blend of  Sumatra Gayoland and Indian Balmaadi.  Both offer medium body and rich flavor with Woody-Spicy-Floral  notes coming from the Samatra.  Very satisfying with just the right acidity.

This could easily become my favorite but te so many more to taste!

Currently we have six very limited  special coffees to taste Brew Bar style.

• Andre Luis Resi 8th place winner from Brazil
• Evandro Cisconeti 2nd place winner from Brazil
• Ethiopia Sidamo You gotta try this one.
• Sumatra India Balmggdi  I will try this next
• Villa Espana El Salvador Flora, sweet and Citrusy
• Jose Morel Portillo  Hondoras Capucas  1st place winner COCAFCAL C0-0p competition

Wow, I have a buzz just thinking about them. We have 18 different coffees at this time and specials are changing weekly.  Be sure to come in soon or you might miss a really great coffee!
