WE HAVE A THIRST FOR GOOD BEER & KNOWLEDGE
If beer is the nectar of the gods, coffee surely is the juice of the heavens. Especially BATCHIES!
What the hell is a Batchie, do I need to look like I’ve just left Coachella to order one and why is asking for an extra hot, half strength, oat milk latte with caramel syrup and chocolate on top such an abomination? Grab your coffee (however you have it) and let us take you on a journey.
Believed to have its origins in Ethiopia, history tells us that the roasting of “Kaffa” plants (making coffee) began in the 13th century. A bit like the history of beer, coffee is steeped in controversy. Some countries banning it due to its intoxicating effects, others using it in ceremony (imagine a coffee prohibition? Dead!)
Again, like our best friends; Hops, the climate and soil (terroir) that the almighty coffee bean is grown in impacts its flavour profile immensely. Thus why batch brews are so damn tantalising. They are often single origin expressions of a the beloved bean.
Where Espresso style coffee is a method of extraction that focuses on heat and pressure resulting in a dense, rich and concentrated coffee shot (perfect if you love rich and intense coffee or blending it with your favourite milk), batchies, or filter coffees are reliant on gravity.
Filter coffee is a gentle way of extracting the flavour notes of the beans to allow the subtle, stunning notes like raspberry, marmalade, hazelnut, chocolate, stone fruit and cherry to be the stars. Always served black, they are very expressive of origin.
This is why coffee culture is so important. While we have all been guilty of a hangover induced instant coffee abomination at some point, coffee and having a skillset to make incredible coffee shouldn’t be overlooked.
Like our beers, we pride ourselves on the service and experience. Let the artistry speak for itself. Get in and try a Batchie. See what all the fuss is about quickly, before the Brewers drink it all.
