Franchise coffee chain Zarraffa’s Coffee has seen its off-beat partnership with the Burleigh Brewing Company pay off, with resulting black coffee lager, Black Giraffe, scoring a gold award at the World Beer Championships in the US.
The beer was ranked the highest in the Specialty Beer category, and described as "A superb coffee beer with a solid caffeine kick".
Zarraffa’s Coffee CEO, Kenton Campbell said of the business venture, “I saw this as the perfect business partnering, a micro brewery and a speciality coffee company, creating a new and exciting product.
"It’s great that smaller businesses coming together can achieve such wonderful things and who knows what other collaborations we might cook up down the track.”
Black Giraffe is the Burleigh Brewing Company’s second release from their Bit On The Side department.
