Oskar Blues Brewery & Hotbox Roasters Collaborate on Hotbox Coffee Porter

Longmont, CO. and Brevard, N.C. – Oskar Blues Brewery and Hotbox Roasters have collaborated to introduce a national, limited release brew that packs a roasted coffee punch – Hotbox Coffee Porter.

Hotbox Coffee Porter (6.4% ABV/30 IBUs) has a malted base extracted from English and German roasted and caramel malts, and is comprised of flavors like roasted nuts, crème brûlée, cocoa and caramel. Hotbox Roasters then crashes the party and infuses potent, cold-extracted coffee from Burundian and Ethiopian beans and deals old flavors and aromas of dark plums, chocolate and hints of blueberry. Hotbox Roasters is a spin off of Oskar Blues’ coffee addiction that took off earlier this year.

Hotbox Roasters is a craft coffee roaster specializing in the highest quality, fair-trade coffee beans available to coffee fiends in Colorado as well as nationwide via a tiered subscription service ( http://hotboxroasters.com/store/). The company currently produces three different roasts from Kenya, Bolivia and Indonesia and will be adding premium beans from other regions over time.  Hotbox Roasters cans its freshly roasted beans using the Oskar Blues & Ball Corporation Crowler™, a one-use, recyclable can that is filled and seamed right on location at the Hotbox Roasters Dock in Longmont, ColoRADo.

Brought to you by the original craft beer in a can, Hotbox Coffee Porter is set to release nationally in 12 oz. cans from November through January (while supplies last, so get it while you CAN), with limited draft as well.
