Zarraffa's Coffee franchise has linked its aromatic coffee with a Burleigh Brewing Company lager to create Black Giraffe, bottled in dinner size (650ml), screen printed collectible bottles.  

“It’s really been a fun collaboration taking our brewing and coffee know-how and packing it into a beer,” said Zarraffa's CEO Kenton Campbell. 

“It’s partnerships like this and new product development that keeps us interested in innovating our coffee blends and delivering superior flavour, whatever the end use."                             

Six hundred kilos of Mexican Rainforest Alliance coffee beans were used in the making of Black Giraffe. “With only a one hour window in the brewing process during which the coffee could be added to the brew, it really was an action packed day and I think we were all a little buzzed from the experienced – literally”, joked Campbell. enton.                                                                                                         

The new beer is the brewery’s second release from its Bit On The Side and will be in selected bottle shops and restaurants from 26 July.
