TRIPLE CROSSING IS IN THE COFFEE BUSINESS

The ying yang of mood swing enhancement legal drugs have partnered to bring you a new taste treat. Cold brew coffee in a can.

Black Hand Coffee Co. and Triple Crossing Brewing Co. have created a new coffee venture to roast, manufacture and package nitro cold brew coffee. Cold Brew Coffee has continued to gain market share on traditional drip coffee and we saw a big opportunity in the Richmond market. Black Hand’s expertise in roasting and brewing coffee coupled with the nitrogen dosing process during canning has created a bold yet smooth coffee with velvety mouthfeel and just enough caffeine to give you a kick any time of day. Cold Brew consists only of filtered water and coffee, which we feel is a great alternative to the sugary drinks that crowd market shelves today.

These 16 oz. Nitro Cold Brew cans designed by Foggy London Towne will be sold at all Triple Crossing and Black Hand locations this Friday, April 7th. It will also be available at select local markets which will be announced shortly. We plan to continue scaling up the production and canning of cold brew coffee to meet the increasing demand.

EASTER AT LICKINGHOLE CREEK

The best of both worlds collide at Lickinghole Creek Brewery this weekend. Mom and Dad will get to enjoy the Nuclear Nugget Honey Imperial IPA Release and the kids will get to chase eggs at the egg hunt, pet animals at the petting zoo, ride ponies, roll eggs, and pick flowers. Parents aren’t completely left out of the fun. Music and food trucks for you guys but I don’t know if that makes up for not getting to ride ponies. It’s all going down Saturday, April 15th from 12-9 PM. Head over the Lickinghole Creek Facebook event for more details.
