autumn beverage selection

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

the autumn climate has descended upon us quickly.
with that comes a shift in the time-space-beverage continuum. human beings not only prefer, but find great comfort in drinks riddled with typical autumn flavors. the change in the climate brings with it a desire for pumpkin and apples (not the computer), nutmeg and cinnamon.

at brew nerds, we are delighted to roll out three new beverages, scientifically engineered to enhance all of your autumn activities. whether you’ve just finished raking leaves, carving a pumpkin, or baking a pie, these beverages are sure to please.

stop in soon, and enjoy a pumpkin spice latte, a caramel apple cider (my favorite) or a spiced cider. they are the liquid equivalent of a hayride.

brew nerds 2.0 (the downtown location) is now serving bagels.
not just any bagels.
bagel station bagels.

if brew nerds coffee was the universe’s best coffee before, while being paired only with sweet counterparts, how much more intellectually superior will it be now that it also has a salty accompaniment? ridiculous.

mocha++;

in my endless pursuit of fantastic coffee based beverage options, a twist on an old favorite has been discovered.

borrowing from the milkshake industry, the maltese falcon combines the already perfected brew nerds mocha with a generous portion of malt, both mixed in and sprinkled randomly on top.

when you consume this excellent specimen of coffee greatness, your taste buds will put you on their friends list.

to caffeinate or not to caffeinate?

Monday, March 24th, 2008

there’s really no question, actually.
the sole purpose of a coffee bean, from the exact moment it bursts out into the world, until the time it reaches our custom designed drinking vessels, is to provide caffeine to the masses.

with that fact now pointed out (as if it weren’t glaringly obvious), i present you with the following facts about the approximate caffeine content in some various brew nerds beverages.

before i proceed, allow me to remind the non-nerds who may be reading, that
16 ounces ≈ 450 milliliters.

and now, without further ado, caffeine information for the galaxy’s preeminent coffee:
brewed coffee (450 ml) – 320 mg caffeine
average swirlie (450 ml) – 195 mg caffeine
cafe americano (450 ml) – 225 mg caffeine
cafe latte (450 ml) – 150 mg caffeine
cafe mocha (450 ml) – 175 mg caffeine
espresso (30 ml) – 75 mg caffeine
expresso (30 ml) – 0 mg caffeine

i can only hope that this serves to provide you with the data that will allow you to make an informed decision the next time you are fortunate enough to find yourself a patron of the one and only brew nerds.

Nutella + Coffee = Tasty x 1050

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

a few days back, i was enjoying breakfast and was completely absorbed in my most recent issue of the Fantastic Four. when i reached to turn the page during an action sequence, my excitement got the best of me and i accidentally dropped the remaining 1/3 of my Nutella toast into my coffee. Sir Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin by accident and I have now discovered what will come to be known as the Nutellatte.

my latest invention has since been implemented at the store and has seen terrific reviews. and do not fear, there was no damage to Fantastic Four #553 and it is now safely encased in a protective sheathing and filed away for future enjoyment.
