Good Beer and Noble Coffee

In Ashland, OR we met some fun beer enthusiasts and brewers, Larry and Ginger.  I was able to tour the Standing Stone Brewery with Larry (who is a brewer there) and sample their drafts. Lane was invited to an event, "Women Enjoying Beer" that Ginger led and got to know some good beer and parring techniques.  -Ryan

Larry and Ginger also introduced us to their friend, Caleb, who is one of the owners of  Noble Coffee Roasting in Ashland. He gave us a 'cupping' tour of all of the coffees they roast while helping us to understand all of the little varieties and subtleties that can come out of different bean origins and roasting techniques. We also had some very valuable lessons about how to buy 'fair trade' coffee in a way that is acutally fair to the farmer...all very valuable lessons for our future buisness. 
The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly at Noble, if your ever in the area check them out. -Lane
