Don’t call it a cafe or a coffee shop! Riff is opening a taproom to serve its cold brewed coffee. At the Dec. 15 grand opening they’ll be showing off their full food menu and draft offerings: regular, nitro and hot nitro cold brewed coffee, beer collaborations with Crux Fermentation Project and Deschutes Brewery, draft cold brewed coffee cocktails, wine, cider, kombucha and more.

They also say there will be a few other surprises, maybe a barrel-aged cold brew? If you are wondering, cold brew coffee isn’t iced coffee, it’s brewed in cold water to yield a smoother, less acidic coffee.

Riff Taproom
Sat. Dec. 15., 11am to 9pm
555 NW Arizona Ave., Ste. 30, Bend
