Beer, coffee and donuts. It might sound like an odd pairing, but it proved to be popular at the first “Mondays at the Roof” event Tin Roof Brewing Co. hosted this week. So much so, that 225 Dine reports the Baton Rouge brewery plans to continue the monthly Monday events through next May.
“We wanted to find a way to take your boring, blah Monday and twist it into something fun,” says Malena Moreau, Tin Roof’s director of marketing and special events.
The first event featured three rounds of coffee-infused beers paired with different doughnuts, all of which came from local vendors. Cafeciteaux Coffee Roasters teamed up with Tin Roof to create three blends by combining its coffee beans with the brewery’s beers, and Tiger Deaux-nuts paired each concoction with a homemade doughnut.
The turnout of about 40 people was well more than expected, and the brewery is hoping that’s a good sign of things to come in the future.
The brewery isn’t ready to reveal the rest of its pairings for the coming months. Moreau, however, says the plan is to continue working with local vendors.
The next “Mondays at the Roof” event is tentatively scheduled for Jan. 16.
Tin Roof hopes to eventually expand to beer pairings twice a month. Future events will likely be capped at 30 people, and tickets will be set at $20 per person.
