Reverend Nat's Hard Cider Releases Groundwork Coffee Sour Cherry Cider
Groundwork Coffee is an LA-based roaster that has expanded to Portland and introduced a "Brewers' Series" of collaboration beers, but the latest is a hard cider: Revere
The name "Electric Red" describes the color of this vibrant sour cherry cider, and is also a reference to aging the cider on Groundwork's "Bitches Brew" signature blend coffee. Groundwork's Bitches Brew is named after American jazz musician Miles Davis' Grammy Award-winning record - one of jazz's greatest albums and a progenitor of the jazz rock genre - where Davis broke boundaries of jazz by featuring several electric instruments."Electric Red" Tasting Notes: Nice deep palate. Enticing and assertive aromas of dark chocolate, cherry, and coffee roast smokiness, subtle caramel notes. A tart granny-apple base blended with copious amounts of sweet and tart cherry juices, aged on Bitches Brew ground coffee...imagine a semi-sweet dark chocolate-cherry cake, drizzled with a dark-roasted coffee finishing glaze, ending with a kick of ghost-chili spice surprise to round out the profile.
Try this exclusive collaboration coffee cider at Reverend Nat's Tasting Room, open daily: 1813 NE 2nd Ave, Portland, OR 97212."Electric Red" is the third collaboration release in the Groundwork "Brewers' Series". Every collaboration beverage features a different Groundwork coffee roast chosen personally by a brewer, then brewed into a unique style that's not typically combined with coffee. The first collaboration of the series was a Coffee and Cream Ale made by Stormbreaker Brewing called"MOCABE Lo Sabe" featuring Groundwork single origin coffee from Mexico's MOCABE Organic Farmer Co-Op, and the second was a "Wau, Nessie!" Coffee Wee Heavy Ale by Burnside Brewing featuring Groundwork's single origin Papua New Guinea roast from the Wau Co-Op.
