2024--BEER #12: Best of Both Brews (St. Boniface Craft Brewing Company)

12/12/2024

Thank you Melissa for beer #12 of the Brewstravaganza. Best of Both Brews (6.6%) is a coffee IPA that comes from St. Boniface Craft Brewing Company. This beer mixes two of life's necessities, beer and coffee. It boasts a roasty, smooth flavor of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee from Whiff Roasters and mixed with Pacific Northwest hops. A great after dinner beer to enjoy while watching Thursday night football. St. Boniface Craft Brewery is located in Ephrata, PA and opened in 2010. In 2024 Pour Man's Brewing Company purchased St. Boniface, but they still use the name and brewery in Ephrata.

Thankful to get my deer meat today, back strap steaks and chili in my future! Coffee IPA, now that’s interesting. Looking forward to this tasting as beer and coffee are favorite beverages. Nice color, slight coffee scent on the nose. Tasting the hops and the coffee, could pound a few of these. 4 mugs.

I was shocked! This is not a bad beer at ALL!! My concern was “Coffee” simply because I believe Coffee is in the mornings, but this was very flavorful
I’m going a 3 🍺
Cheers

This is my first ever coffee IPA and it was definitely unique. It was fun to try to distinguish between the hop bitterness and the coffee bitterness and I think I was actually able to on the finish. I appreciate this advent for exposing me to beers I’d probably have never tried in my own. Cheers! 3.5/5 mugs.

Have to agree with the can’s words, Best of both Worlds, they pulled it off! Color of the beer totally threw me, great smell, during the pour! Great coffee taste, with the iPA taste I always enjoy, soon followed! One of the most unique beers I ever tried! Can art classic print, honors the classy taste! 4.3/5

Wasn’t sure if this was going to be more hoppy or coffee forward. I get more hops initially, but then a coffee aftertaste. I really like this one! 4.75🍺

Two of my favorite things in one can! Coffee and beer usually meet as a stout but an IPA now this was interesting! I’m usually searching for an IPA that gives a piney or citrus vibe but the coffee taste was a great new experience! I am pleased with this smooth tasting beer…4.5 mugs from me!

I was expecting this beer to be a dark pour and was unsure of how it would taste. Overall, I would give this one a 3.5 but pushing a 4. I think there is a lot of flavor and more coffee taste the more you drink of it. I have never had a coffee IPA before and I do not think it will be my last! Thanks for this one!

This was a great tasting IPA. Like the others I was hesitant at first because I thought it was going to be a dark beer. I was really intrigued by the coffee part of the beer and was pleasantly surprised by the taste. I would give it 4 mugs and it is good to drink while watching Thursday night football.

I was pretty pumped for this one. I was not expecting it to be as light colored as it was, but the flavor was spot on. Excellent beer. Will be looking for this one in the future. 4/5 🍺

Delicious beer! Like everyone else, the color threw me way off! I think the coffee word made me think dark beer, but this looked and tasted like an IPA. Nice bitterness that mixed well with the subtle coffee flavor. 4🍺s for this unique treat! Cheers!

I expected a darker color as well and was surprised by the taste. I don't know why but I expected a stronger hint of coffee taste. Overall a very interesting beer. 3🍺
