Scandinavian Coffee Beers

I’m totally obsessing on coffee beers lately. We have plenty to choose from in the United States, but do you ever wonder what specialty roasters are doing abroad? When it comes to beer, they’re doing lots!

Here are three coffee beers we’re salivating over right now:

  1. You should come to Texas and try Iron Joe made by Rahr & Son’s Brewery out of Fort Worth. They collaborated with Avoca Coffee to make a coffee infused Scottish Ale.

  2. Don’t know if you’ve had Speakeasy’s Payback Porter, but it uses Ritual’s Sugar Skull and it is delicious.
