Coffee District and Terrapin Shwag



     I had a nice visit to the Coffee District, in Delray Beach, Thursday night to attend their Terrapin Beer Co.  promotion. I arrived late but Chung (Owner and gracious host) let me stay long enough to taste  Terrapin's Gamma Ray through the Randall (The enamel animal) with fresh Georgia peaches, it was sweet and DELICIOUS!!

WheatWine Ale Brewed with Honey
This massive wheat beer is brewed with an obscene amount of locally grown Tupelo and Sourwood Honeys from Savannah Bee Company. This Gamma Ray will stop any super hero’s arch enemies in their tracks!
The high content alcohol of these beers make them perfect for cellaring…hide them away and pull one out for a special event 2-3 years later.

IBU’s: 40
O.G.: 22. 6
Malt: 2-Row Pale, Munich Wheat, Carapils Acidulated

      I could have drank a gallon, but I had to limit myself to just one ::sigh:: I was driving! My next beer was Terrapin's Wake-n-Bake, already a personal favorite, this is a magically delicious coffee-oatmeal breakfast stout. Chung put the BAM in it by adding a shot of espresso!

Coffee Oatmeal Imperial Stout
Black as night, this coffee stout is thick, rich and full of real coffee flavor. Brewed with the Terrapin Wake-n-Bake coffee blend created by Terrapin & Jittery Joe’s Coffee.
Annual Release: November
The high content alcohol of these beers make them perfect for cellaring…hide them away and pull one out for a special event 2-3 years later.

     The best thing of all is that I ended up with a sticker, a cool Terrapin glass and a 12 oz can of Jittery Joe's Terrapin's Wake-n-Bake coffee that you see in the first picture, Chung is a super guy! Stay tuned for a post and pictures of the Coffee District. Good times!
