Talking All Things Cold Brew with Eric Johnson from Trident Coffee

By Drips & Draughts on April 14, 2017 0

Today, we’re joined by Eric Johnson from Trident Coffee in San Diego. Prior to the show, we sampled about 8-10 different cold brews with Eric, so if we’re talking fast… that’s why. Eric stopped by the “studio” to catch up since his last visit when he joined us on Episode 10 where we talked about the importance of branding and some of the health benefits of cold brew. Then, Eric’s brother Matt joined us in Episode 12 to talk about the not-sexy, but very important topic of cleaning and sanitation and the importance of it.

We also select a new winner for the All-In-One Countertop Nitro Coffee Fridge… we’re really hoping that we get to give this away this time! We read discuss the new Dictionary.com definition of ‘cold brew‘.

Trident is planning to open up their cafe in mid-June to start serving on draft. In the meantime, make sure to check them out online at TridentCoffee.com
