This year, the brewery has turned over yet another leaf with four iterations of one special coffee porter, called the Local Blend series. Each limited release in the coffee-focused series highlights the flavor of a coffee roasted by one of four specialty coffee roasters based in four different major Ohio cities. The porters are packaged in four-packs of cans that feature renditions of the showcased roaster’s home city skyline. “With our experience using coffee in beer, we’ve learned that coffee type and roast makes a big impact on the flavor from the coffee,” MadTree Brewing Head Brewer Ryan Blevins told DCN. Cincinnati’s own Deeper Roots Coffee provided coffee from La Armonia Hermosa in Guatemala; Dayton’s Boston Stoker Coffee provided an organic Costa Rican coffee from Finca El Llano in the Tarrazú region; Columbus’s Stauf’s Coffee supplied an Ethiopia Guji from the Wolichu Wachu washing station; and Cleveland’s Phoenix Coffee supplied another Ethiopian offering, from Girma Eshetu Kaffa.
