Introducing Hard Pivot: A Delicious Coffee Sour

Artisanal coffee AND craft beer? Oh, what a time to be alive!

To celebrate the brand-new look of York Coffee Emporium, we’ve teamed up with Turning Point Brew Co. to create a beer that’s as bold as it is brilliant. Enter Hard Pivot, a fruited coffee sour that will take your taste buds on an unexpected yet utterly thrilling adventure.

A Beer That Breaks the Rules (In the Best Possible Way)

Hard Pivot is no ordinary sour. It’s a juicy, fruit-packed creation, bursting with blueberries and lashings of maple syrup, all tied together with a carefully curated coffee blend, specially selected to complement its vibrant, tangy character.

We sat down with Turning Point, coffee cups in hand, to hand-pick the perfect single origin, one that would not only stand up to the bold flavours of blueberry and maple but also bring its own rich, roasty depth to the party. The result? A complex, velvety, and utterly unique beer that bridges the gap between speciality coffee and craft brewing.

Our York Emporium Rwanda Mbilima coffee meets a bright blueberry tang in this very special, full-bodied sour. Maple syrup adds a subtle sweetness, balancing tart fruit and roasted depth. So why not make a 'hard pivot' over to our website to enjoy this perfect pairing of flavours?

Why Coffee and Beer Make the Perfect Match

At first, coffee and beer might seem like unlikely companions, but when done right, they form a harmonious, flavour-packed pairing. The rich, roasted depth of coffee beans complements the tartness of fruit, the sweetness of maple, and the sour tang of the brew itself. Coffee doesn’t just add depth and complexity; it enhances the natural notes already at play in the beer.

With Hard Pivot, we’ve taken that concept and dialled it up to eleven. The vibrant fruitiness of the Rwanda Mbilima coffee pairs beautifully with the blueberry-forward, maple-infused base of this sour, creating something unexpected yet completely satisfying.

A Toast to New Beginnings

This collaboration isn’t just about making a great beer (though, let’s be honest, that’s a pretty fantastic outcome). It’s about pushing boundaries, celebrating reinvention, and embracing the unexpected. York Coffee Emporium’s new look represents a fresh chapter, and what better way to mark the occasion than with a beer that challenges expectations and delights the senses?

So, whether you’re a craft beer connoisseur, a coffee fanatic, or simply someone who loves trying something deliciously different, Hard Pivot is a must-try. Grab a can, take a sip, and let the blueberry-maple-coffee magic unfold.

Cheers to new looks, bold flavours, and brilliant collaborations!
