BAKERS_DOZEN_FINAL-page-001.jpg
Coffee beer seems to be having a moment, as a rash of new beers made with God’s favorite bean have recently hit the market. You can find some new ones in local bottle shops, like HUB Morning Vibes Imperial Latte Stout, which is made with Nossa Familia Coffee; Rogue Cold Brew 2.0, a blonde-ale relative of their Cold Brew IPA, made with Stumptown Cold Brew; and pFriem Golden Coffee Pale, a draft choice now in bottles and made with Coava Coffee.

If those options don’t combine your vices adequately, there’s the upcoming Baker’s Dozen, a festival that combines coffee, beer, and doughnuts. Now in its fourth year, the fest was started by former Mercury beer scribe Brian Yaeger, and admission gets you tasters to the 13 coffee beers, including brews from event host Ecliptic Brewing, Widmer, Modern Times, and many others. (You also get 13 doughnut samples and a souvenir glass.) It goes down on Sunday morning, which gives you the rest of the day to decide whether you’re beer-buzzed, coffee-wired, or coming down off a doughnut-induced sugar high.

Check out the full rundown!
