    As much as I know this will be disgusting, I'm still curious to try it! Anyone know if it may hit the Pittsburgh Market?

    Ironically this will probably cost more than a single bottle of BCBS, which I would much rather have

    Funny, as beer drinkers we often pick up on coffee notes in our stouts, have coffee nerds all along been saying "oh these beans have a very stout like flavor"

    You sir are correct. It's available in Columbus as a test market item at the moment. I was going to try it this morning until I saw it runs about $5 for a 20 oz, fuck that.

    Now, this however, greatly intrigues me... http://m.bizjournals.com/columbus/b...mps-starbucks-beer-flavored-latte.html?r=full

    A local coffee company announced right after Starbucks' stout syrup latte that they have been experimenting with dry hopping cold brew. I guess they found a good combo and are ready to sell it, on a nitro tap, definitely checking this out.
