Saturday
PERC coffee roasters has a grand opening in collaboration
with Southbound Brewing Co. on Saturday at 1802 E. Broad St, called Tamp &
Tap. Why are the two companies celebrating together? They are celebrating not
only PERC’s new space but also an unusual collaboration with Southbound that
produced a new beer. The two local companies came together to create a beer named
Moonlight Drive which has a complementary taste of coffee. The brewing process
needed to have a non-traditional approach to keep it from going stale a week
after brewing it, so the two companies collaborated to come up with a cold brew
to create a fresh dark stout. The celebration starts at 1 and goes to 4pm with food
and music, cost is $20.00 pre-register here: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/530224
or $30.00 at the door. Tickets include a souvenir glass and samples of the
brew.
