From local craft beer and small-batch spirits, to, well, more local craft beer and small-batch spirits, Chicago loves a homegrown drink.
But let us not forget our other brew culture. Because something’s gotta stir you come the morning after Malort.
Now caffeinating your A.M. hours: Roastolo, a marketplace that delivers fresh local coffee from the city’s top roasters.
Roastolo specializes in jumpstarting workplaces. As in: they’ll come to your office (pro bono) humping fancy equipment and a bounty of beans so you and the chums can taste-drive some new perks.
Why free? Because they want you to drink better coffee. And because Starbucks is kettle-burnt palate-cide. Don’t even get us started on K-Cups.
What to try? You can’t go wrong with Intelligentsia. But we wholeheartedly suggest you get on the super-micro level. Like Bow Truss and PassionHouse, or the Wormhole’s Halfwit and the one-man roast show that is Grinderman.
All freshly roasted on-demand and delivered to you sans mustachioed snark.
We’ll drink to that.
