Signaling the arrival of fall (oftentimes prematurely), the return of Pumpkin Spice is perhaps the most anticipated event of the year. For those customers who flock to their primary residences after a summer on LBI, missing out on the release of our seasonal coffee blends, such as our legendary Pumpkin Spice, can be a staggering disappointment. After all, coffee is a big deal...
Is it just us, or is the transition from cold drinks to hot drinks as automatic as the changing of the leaves? As soon as that Pumpkin Spice Latte hits the menu it’s “Sayonara iced lattes!” and “Hello, steamy mochas!”
Who else is ready for brisk temps and autumnal flavors? At HYB, we’re ready to move forward into the next season, and we’ve got a fresh new lineup of booze-free mocktails to prove it!
Oftentimes, coffee shops will pour a glass of cold brew when you request iced coffee, and vice versa. Despite some similarities in appearance and presentation, these drinks are not as interchangeable as you might think! In this month’s blog we’re exploring the differences between these warm weather favorites so that you can make an informed ordering decision during your next HYB visit.
Tastes like coffee, pours like Guinness! This week’s ‘Just Ask’ is all about nitro cold brew, the beverage pouring from our taps looking suspiciously like a coffee stout.

In recent years, cold brew has taken the coffee industry by storm. So popular is this craft coffee beverage that it’s graduated from your local coffee shop to restaurants, grocery stores and even home refrigerators. At How You Brewin, we’ve gone from brewing and selling our classic cold brew recipe in-store, to kegging and canning our cold brew for the world to experience!
Of all the viral trends emerging as a result of what we assume is quarantine-boredom, the Dalgona coffee trend has been the oddest. Deceivingly photogenic, the whipped beverage looks utterly delicious with its milk base and plump, creamy head of caramel-colored coffee, but after giving it a go, we found it anything but delicious.
Solutions for social distancing sorrows are in abundance, and one of our favorites is the “Virtual Happy Hour” in which friends can still enjoy craft cocktails (and mocktails) together over Skype, Zoom, FaceTime, and other methods of virtual conference.
Legend has it that the “Americano” we see on most coffeeshop menus originated during the second World War, when American soldiers stationed in Italy diluted their espresso with water to mimic the milder drip coffee they were used to in the States. The resulting drink was henceforth known as a “Caffe Americano.” Translation: American coffee. Now, years after its birth, the Americano is a staple in almost any cafe you visit.
Small but powerful. An accurate description for the tiny little coffee beverage that’s low in calories, packed with antioxidants and loaded with caffeine. A shot of espresso, is a compact, highly concentrated, velvety form of coffee. But how is it made?
