Irish Coffee Workshop: Black, with cream and sugar, or whiskey?

March

Last month we paired coffee and ice cream. This month, we take the logical jump to coffee and whiskey in celebration of St Patty's Day. Join us for a very special collaboration between Fresh Fork Market, Rising Star Coffee, and Market Garden Brewery to learn a few new recipes and to taste some excellent Irish Coffee.

At this event you can expect to enjoy three Irish Coffees, ranging from traditional, to an Italian twist, to local, using local whiskey. The evening will also include light food and pastries to pair with your coffee. Guests will learn the procedures for making Irish Coffee (it isn't rocket science though!) and will get the recipes to take home with them.

The fee for this event is $20 per person and space is extremely limited. Please RSVP immediately. The event is from 6:30 PM until approximately 7:30 PM on Tuesday, March 12th at Market Garden Brewery. See address on left column of this page.

More about the event: Fresh Fork Market is proud to collaborate with Rising Star Coffee and Market Garden Brewery, two amazing companies and true pioneers in artisan foods/beverages. Rising Star Coffee, a newbie on the coffee roasting scene, specializes in sourcing their beans directly from specialty coffee farms from around the world - often farms they have visited! By sourcing the finest beans and roasting in small, closely monitored batches, they are able to produce the highest quality coffee bean on the market. The event is being hosted at their new "cupping bar," which is similar to a coffee shop with the exception that each cup of coffee, including "drip coffee," is brewed to order. Their menu changes daily.

Market Garden Brewery, open since 2011, is a micro-brewery and brewpub with a strong focus on seasonal beers and exceptional food in a comfortable atmosphere. It is Cleveland's first "beer garden" with a large outdoor dining area, including fireplace, attached directly to the brewhouse. This event is especially timely as Market Garden is in the process of developing their own house-distilled whiskey and rum. Hopefully by the time next year's event happens we can feature some of their own spirits!
