Almanac Coffee - Duluth, Minnesota
​They have not been on a Caffeine Crawl yet, but we hope to include them on a special Virtual Crawl exclusive for late summer '24. 

​Fun facts: National Pfeffernusse Day is celebrated on December 23. At one point in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, the youthful City of Duluth was home to more millionaires per capita than any other city in the world. Almanac
 is located at the Duluth Folk School, which is in the Lincoln Park Craft District of Duluth.

This recipe is the brainchild of our head roaster whose holiday season would be incomplete without Great Grandma Beidelman's famous Pfeffernüsse cookies. Pfeffernüsse is a German holiday cookie meaning 'pepper nut' and is composed of a melody of warming baking spices called lebkuchengewürz. Each holiday season we make our spice blend from scratch and use it for baking and brewing. The beauty of this recipe is its versatility. It's a fantastic way to liven up a batch brew of drip coffee around the holiday season (simply add to your grind basket enough to suit your taste) and to use as an elegant dusting over a fine mocha or hot cocoa. 

This season we have been enjoying our homemade lebkuchengewürz shaken with espresso and brown sugar and poured over a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Liquid pfeffernusse! Below is our recipe for our lebkuchengewurz as well as our seasonal coffee offering.

Nexus Coffee & Creative - Little Rock, Arkansas
They have not been on a Caffeine Crawl yet, but we host a Crawl in NW Arkansas almost every year. Little Rock would be a great winter Here & There event in the near future. Jason visited to space coming back from a Memphis trip a few years ago.

Fun facts: British bartending guru Dick Bradsell is credited with revolutionizing the cocktail scene in London in the 1980s and creating the Espresso Martini cocktail. The story goes, a young model, who Bradsell claims is now world famous, sidled up to the bar and asked for something to “wake me up and f**k me up” at Fred’s Club in the late 1980s. His solution was a combination of vodka, fresh espresso, coffee liqueur and sugar, shaken into a frothy mix of bittersweet addiction. Originally called The Vodka Espresso then the Pharmaceutical Stimulant. Nexus started in a 115 year old building as a shop. Four years later, in 2021, they expanded from 1,600-square-foot and took over an adjoining corner space reaching 4,000-square-foot. This allowed them to start roasting and add a performance space.
