PITTSBURGH, PA – August 29, 2018 Rivertowne Brewing, an independent craft brewery located just outside of Pittsburgh in neighboring Murrysville/Export and Zeke’s Coffee Pittsburgh announce the release of their cold-brewed, coffee-fueled collaboration - Zeke’s Coffee Brown Ale.
Zeke’s Coffee Brown Ale, a light-to-medium-bodied brown ale, is scheduled for release on Wednesday, August 29, 2018 across PA and NC. The limited release will initially be made available on draft with 12 oz six pack cans to follow immediately afterward.
VP of Sales & Marketing at Rivertowne Brewing, Rob Johnson, had this to say, “After some lengthy delays resulting from packaging shortages on the part of our previous can supplier, we are excited to finally unleash Zeke’s Coffee Brown Ale on our fans. Our friends at Zeke’s Coffee Pittsburgh brewed up an 18-gallon batch of high-octane, cold brewed coffee for us to add to the conditioning phase of this brew. The Brazil Cerrado beans that were used to make the cold brew produce a wonderful nutty chocolate finish and partner perfectly in this brown ale. We invite fans of coffee and brown ale alike to snag a six pack or two and fuel up. It’s Go Time!”
Chad Hammitt, General Manager for Zeke's Coffee Pittsburgh shared the following, "I find it humorous that our companies have become somewhat symbiotic since this project began. Rivertowne has been fueling the Zeke's crew, and Zeke's has been fueling the Rivertowne crew... it's a total win-win! I absolutely love what Rivertowne has done with our cold brew! Unlike a coffee stout or porter where at times it may seem like you're eating cake from a glass, the Zeke's Coffee Brown Ale drinks more like a refreshing glass of iced coffee, smooth and delicious and not too heavy. These may be a little too delicious for us to keep around the shop at all times...they go down easy and while we like to have some fun, there's work to get done over here! We're anxious to stock up for the porch times and on the weekends and hope you are too! Bottom's up!
