Have you ever heard of coffee to brew beer?

Recently, San Diego-based ModernTimes Brewery Brewery has brewed an unprecedented coffee beer, and the secret of its success lies in the coffee beans used in brewing. Nowadays, brewing beer with coffee has become a popular trend in the world beer industry. Many brewing companies try to use a variety of beers, including white beer, malt liquor and so on, to brew coffee with various roasting degrees. Some even used Kopi Luwak (KopiLuwak) to brew expensive beer.

Not long ago, AleSmith, also based in San Diego, tried to use Speedway roasters to put coffee beans in a barrel of bourbon and then add stout beer to brew. Unexpectedly, the flavors of coffee, dark beer and bourbon blend well. But ModernTimes uses a different brewing method. Instead of brewing beer and coffee beans in bourbon barrels, they first store coffee beans in barrels and pour them into the beer.

Using wine casks to store coffee and raw beans has become a popular trend in the coffee industry in recent years. The principle is that raw coffee beans take the initiative to absorb the smell around them. This will cause the coffee beans to go bad and lose their original taste. But trendy coffee roasters happen to take advantage of this, allowing coffee beans to fully absorb the smell of wood and alcohol in the barrel.

This sounds a little difficult, but the real roaster will choose different buckets to store coffee raw beans according to the characteristics of different wines and retain the taste of the barrels during the roasting process. The coffee has strong aromas of wine and oak.

Many coffee roasters who are involved in the "Third-wave" wave are using this technique, and Modern Times happens to learn this secret. The company's founder, Jacob McKeane (JacobMcKean), says he loves coffee and beer and sells it all over the country as his company's main product. Although he never wanted to try coffee roasting, since he tried to roast coffee at home, he began to study how to combine roasting techniques with beer brewing techniques. To this end, he also bought a commercial coffee roaster in the brewing workshop.

The coffee beans used here are all self-baked, and the beer used to match is their own dark beer. Nowadays, with the continuous enrichment of experience and knowledge, his family's coffee beans have become very popular.
