Just two doors down from its main roastery and cafe in downtown Duluth, Minn., Duluth Coffee Company recently opened an origin-inspired cocktail bar featuring locally distilled spirits in drinks modeled after traditional tipples from the places where DCC’s coffees are sourced, as well as local craft beer on tap.
The new space will also provide the company with a wealth of additional production capacity, with the addition of a 70-kilo machine from US Roaster Corp.
“We wanted to do something different to bring people into the space,” DCC owner Eric Faust told Daily Coffee News of the new roastery and bar, which does not serve coffee. “We’re trying to create an environment that was different from the coffee shop but that would showcase craft beverage and take place where we manufacture coffee.”
