October News
Just because it's 90 degrees outside doesn't mean it isn't FALL at Carrboro Coffee Roasters! We're excited for an event-heavy month, some new collaborations, and (eventually) cooler temps.
This month, CCR President Scott Conary is in Brazil overseeing the National Phase of the country's Cup of Excellence competition. We've seen some incredible coffees come out of Brazil in the past, and we're excited to see what the producers bring to the table this year. To learn more, click here.

Carrboro Coffee Collaborates
|
|
The No Quarter Coffee Stout is back! Our friends at Steel Sting Brewery brew this every year with our cold pressed Guatemalen La Providencia coffee from producer Juan Francisco Pira. It's an 8.0% coffee and oatmeal stout that features an intense coffee aroma and flavor, with a finish of semi-sweet cocoa. This batch has an additional infusion of our Ethiopia ARDI for floral and berry notes.
Head to the Steel String Tap Room to give it a try, or grab a six-pack of bottles from Open Eye Cafe or Caffe Driade to take home!
