Coffee Beer? Yes, Please!

A natural duo, when you think about it, coffee and beer have quite a few things in common. Both can be influenced at every stage of the creation process to create new and exciting flavor combinations, aromas, and tastes. Both are artistic mediums accessible that almost (sorry to the under 21 crowd) anyone can enjoy, so why not mix the two together? 

Perfect Daily Grind breaks down the process and how the two can comingle, and how to brew your own caffeinated concoction. If you're just looking to get your feet wet, try out some of our favorite finds below!
