With summer just around the corner (or if youโre from the South like me, it never really left, just kinda chilled out for a hot second), itโs time to start thinking about swimsuits, beach bods, and of course, cold coffee beverages. And Portlandโs Stumptown Coffee Roasters may just monopolized the poolside coffee game with the release of their newest ready-to-drink concoction, the Sparkling Cold Brew.
Canned and ready to roll, the new Sparkling Cold Brew isnโt the function of an R&D lab, but had a much more organic genesis. According to Stumptownโs website:
Stumptownโs newest sparkling jammer comes in three different flavors: Original, with sugar cane and a hint of lemon; Ginger Citrus, a take on ginger beer; and Honey Lemon, their version of the Arnold Palmer.
The Sparkling Cold Brew can is the perfect summer accouterment to sneak into your local public pool (shout out to East Dallasโ Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie 3108. Iโll see you soon, my love). And should maybe some whiskey or gin happen to fall into your refreshing coffee beverage, well then, certainly no one would fault you for imbibing it. Ever thus is summer.
And if you need more proof, check out Stumptownโs video, what I can only assume is someone who listens to a little too much Toro y Moi‘s attempt at a shot-for-shot remake of the Adventures of Pete and Pete from memory after a three PBR breakfast and thinking about cold brew a lot.
