I love coffee flavored beers. I’ll admit that I’ve been drinking them a little bit less often since it’s so damn hot out and I’ve been focusing more on the lighter (not lite) beers. However, this sounds like one that I don’t think I can wait until cooler weather to try.

I'm a former coffee blogger, but I’ve been getting to know some really good craft beers and really getting into home brewing. I couldn’t resist starting this little project called Passion For The Pint. When I’m not blogging about coffee or beer, you can find me exploring New Orleans’ wide range of eateries, rooting for the New York Yankees (don’t hate me, I’m originally from New York), working out to burn off the beer calories or reading about beer.
