Portland's Stumptown Coffee Roasters frequently innovates when it comes to the coffee products that it retails, including its newest cold brew coffee in a can. Stumptown recently unveiled a trio of Sparkling Cold Brew beverages that come in flavors like Original, Ginger Citrus and Honey Lemon.
These canned drinks are made with a base of carbonated cold brew coffee and natural cane sugar, as well as a few additional ingredients to create each unique flavor. These drinks provide the comfort of coffee, with all of the refreshment of a sparkling drink. As Stumptown puts it: "For the days when you need a lift but maybe aren’t all in for a lightning ride, Sparkling Cold Brew is your co-pilot."
Stumptown notes that it has been experimenting with the idea of a cold brew soda since last spring, but these new cans offer an ultra-convenient way for coffee lovers to energize on the go.
