BIGGBY^® COFFEE and Arcadia Brewing Company Partner on Morning Nightcap Coffee Porter for Second Year

East Lansing, MI, October 4, 2018–BIGGBY^® would like to announce the relaunch of Morning Nightcap! This beer is the result of a partnership between BIGGBY^® and Arcadia Brewing Company. The BIGGBY^® and Arcadia partnership sparked from a friendship between BIGGBY^® Owner/Operator Kyle Kinney and Timothy Suprise, Founder/CEO of Arcadia Brewing Company. Kinney, who owns several stores in the Kalamazoo area, saw an opportunity ‘brewing’ and jumped on it. “Knowing how big of a fan Tim was of BIGGBY^®, this idea just made sense. I love the fact that two well-known and loved craft industry companies have combined forces to produce something absolutely delicious,” says Kinney.

The beer lover’s consummate coffee beer, Morning Nightcap is a perfect marriage of rich coffee and creamy porter. Brewed with BIGGBY^® COFFEE’s Papua New Guinea blend, which was created by Paramount Roasters especially for this collaboration, this BIGGBY^® medium blend’s buttery, nutty, and sweet flavors bring out the rich notes of dark chocolate and fruit. When you take a sip of this beer, it’s an experience similar to a refreshing cold brew. Morning Nightcap is currently available on draft at Arcadia Brewing Company in Kalamazoo, MI and is out now in stores in six-packs of 12oz bottles! All Meijer locations will carry Morning Nightcap as well as a few other select retailers.

The perfection of the partnership between BIGGBY^® and Arcadia Brewing Company is best explained by Timothy Surprise. “The artisanal fabric of craft beer and coffee is woven by committed and community oriented companies, and this Arcadia/BIGGBY^® collaboration truly reflects a dedication to quality, innovation and experience.” BIGGBY^® is buzzing with excitement over the launch of Morning Nightcap but it doesn’t end there – Arcadia is set to open another bar/restaurant location in Lansing soon!

BIGGBY^® COFFEE, East Lansing, Mich.-based, was started with a single store on March 15, 1995. One year later, and on the cusp of opening a second location, Bob Fish and Michael McFall, on a handshake and $4,000, decided to franchise the concept. BIGGBY^® COFFEE’s cultural values of Make Friends, Have Fun, B Yourself, and Share Great Coffee help coffee-lovers and the coffee-curious alike benefit from a less pretentious and fun approach to the standard gourmet cafe paradigm. Besides connoisseur-worthy drinks with pronounceable names like Teddy Bear^® and Caramel Marvel^®, BIGGBY^® baristas provide a unique experience focused on brightening their customer’s day and supporting them in building a life they love. The “Big ‘B’” on the orange background caught on, and today BIGGBY^® COFFEE has 275 cafes open or under contract across 10 states including: Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Florida, Texas, and New Jersey. In 2018, BIGGBY^® launched an Area Representative Program and currently has 4 area representatives in 4 states.
