It was 103 years ago today that a fellow named Roy W. Allen set up a roadside stand in Lodi, California, to sell root beer, a nickel per frosty mug. The root-beer recipe he bought from an Arizona pharmacist was a hit, and Allen soon recruited Frank Wright to help him run the business. Among their collaborations was combining the initials of their last names to create the A&W brand. Wright was eventually bought out, kindly leaving his initial behind. Allen kept franchising stores by the hundreds, pioneering the drive-in concept with “tray boys” catering to customers in cars. An American institution was born! So on A&W’s birthday, I raise my frosty mug to celebrate – and I mean this literally, as I keep an A&W mug in my freezer, though the potables it usually carries are more potent. Let’s begin our tour with two photos of the A&W in the Adirondack Mountain town of Wilmington, New York, which has been here since 1966 and still proudly displays its “pilgrim hat.” Next, we head to San Rafael, California, and the A&W that’s just off the 101 Freeway. I’d spotted it for years on my drives from San Francisco to Santa Rosa (for the Charles M. Schulz Museum, one of my happy places) and northward to wine country. I finally pulled over in 2020 for a bite and got to say hello to Great Root Bear, or Rooty, a 1970s mascot who’s back in good corporate favor after fading for a spell. From Northern California, we’re off to Faribault, Minnesota, and an A&W where an earlier mascot, Papa Burger, part of the Burger Family, greets you out front. (Rooty fans need not worry; our furry friend is the dining room greeter.) Next, you can still have a bonafide 1960s experience at the A&W in Cortland, New York. You can either eat inside the turquoise pilgrim hat or go the carhop route and find a spot under the canopy. The Order Matic awaits your culinary commands! Finally, we stop at the A&W in Stayton, Oregon, where I got this moody shot during my visit last year. What are your memories of A&W? #retrologist (at United States of America) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfC8Q-CLMoQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Coffee Subsriptions We Love To Drink From Home

There’s a chance we may be headed towards a nationwide shutdown of bars, restaurants, and yes, coffee shops in response to Coronavirus, an action that has already been instituted in certain US states to help flatten the curve and save lives.

Until that happens you need to tip, dammit, and buy gift cards, and watch for companies in your community converting to take-out, drive-thru, and delivery (follow us on Twitter for updates). But another very wonderful thing you can do to support the coffee industry right now is to buy coffee online.

You need coffee now, but you’ll need it again in a week, or a month, which is why coffee subscriptions are so hot right now. With this in mind we’ve put together a nice big list of coffee subscriptions we know to be excellent. Some are in America, others are not. All are operated by humans. This list includes a few of our sponsors, whose support makes our daily publishing work at Sprudge possible, as well as many other indie roasters we admire.

This is just a start—comments to this post are open and we’d love to hear from you on more of your favorite subscription options. Share this post with your family and friends—we’ve been sure to include a broad range of roast profiles and price points for every coffee drinker you love—and watch for more stories like this from us in the coming hours.

Amavida Coffee — Santa Rosa, Florida

The folks at Amavida offer not one, not two, but three distinct coffee subscription options: the Trekker, Espresso, and Reserve. Each one ships monthly and serves Amavida’s Certified B Corp mission of “empowering coffee-growing communities around the globe.”

Belleville Brulerie — Paris, France

One of the best damn roasters in France is also home to a charming monthly subscription option! Choose from 1, 2, or 3 “sachets” of coffee (tres chic) alongside discovery cards and brewing tips. These subscriptions can even be given as gifts, which is a very nice thing to consider doing in these strange times. Please note this subscription is only available for EU readers.

Counter Culture Coffee — United States of America

Counter Culture helped build the third wave, and are found behind the bar at fine coffee shops, restaurants and bars all across the country, roasted in the Bay Area and Durham, North Carolina. You can get that goodness delivered to your door in subscription form, with a range of options including blends, decaf, and an ever-changing single origin offering. This is one of the most customizable subscriptions we’ve come across in terms of cadence and selection—perfect for a big family with lots of coffee needs.

Dark Arts Coffee — London, United Kingdom

I’m supposed to be in London right now. Oh, it was to be glorious—a little bit of leisure time with an away message on the ol�� email before hopping back in to work at the London Coffee Festival. I was going to eat funny sounding British food and Paul Hollywood-esque pastries, and walk around a lot. Obviously this was not to be, but one can capture a bit of London in the form of a recurring subscription from Dark Arts Coffee, who are happy to ship to the UK, the EU, or “everywhere else on this here flat earth.” Check out their subscription here, their coffee is very good.

Dogwood Coffee — Minneapolis, Minnesota

Dogwood is the best, basically. Not only do they offer some of our favorite cafe experiences in the country, and really one of the industry’s best approaches to deeply felt graphic design and merch, they also have a smart set of subscription options including blends, single origins, and a bulk pay buy—prepay $150 for a 6 month set-up, including shipping.

Go Get Em Tiger — Los Angeles, California

Get a single origin! Get an espresso blend! Get a single origin but have it roasted, you know, a little longer! Customize your subscription monthly, fortnightly, or up to four bags a week, in case you want to pig out on coffee, you little coffee pig. While they aren’t currently shipping the cheeseburger nationwide they are shipping coffee, and that’s pretty good.

Intelligentsia — Chicago, Illinois and nationwide

The team at Intelligentsia more or less invented the “Direct Trade” approach to coffee buying, developing long term and oftentimes exclusive relationships with coffee producers around the world, with ongoing projects in places like Mexico, Nicaragua, and Ethiopia. Coffees like the brand’s iconic Black Cat espresso and Borealis house blend are better known, but Intelli’s single origin Direct Trade coffees (like this Peru COE Special Selection or the Rwanda Zirikana) are capable of scaling flavor and quality heights.

Intelli’s subscription offering can be narrowed down by flavor preference or individual offerings; you can select whole bean (always recommended) or choose from a range of pre-grind specifications; you can choose which day of the week you’d like the subscription to ship, how many bags, and how often. You can even opt for a tea subscription alongside coffee, from Intelli’s in-house Kilogram Tea sub-label. Use this as an excuse to poke around Intelligentsia’s website and read more about the people who grew, harvested, and expertly processed these remarkable coffees, and sign up for their newsletter to receive discount offers.

Joe Coffee — New York City

It’s so important that we support New York right now, a city whose unique urban density and global nature makes it especially impacted by Coronavirus. Supporting Joe Coffee is a vote for supporting the city, so deeply coupled are their identities. Joe is offering 20% your first 3 subscription shipments using code HOMEBREW through March 31st, which means a nice savings on espresso blend, house blend, and single origin subscription packages. While I cannot currently visit the UWS Joe for an iced latte and take it for a stroll through the nice quiet part of Central Park, I can daydream of doing so, which I will as soon as this article is done, and I can support them by drinking their coffee at home.

KaffeBox — Norway

America’s obsession with Scandinavian minimalist design and magazines that look like Kinfolk may finally at last be waning, but let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater—Scandinavia is still home to some incredible indie coffee roasters. Each month the team at KaffeBox assembles a subscription delivery featuring a different Nordic roaster, shipped direct to you anywhere in the world. If you’re someone like me who hedonistically loves drinking lots of different roasters all the time, this is like the dream subscription. I’m not planning to fly to Oslo anytime soon but KaffeBox brought Supreme Roastworks to me this month, and their coffee is lovely. Other recently featured roasters like The Coffee Collective, Per Nordby, and Jacobsen og Svart are no slouch either. There’s even now an optional chocolate pairing, which sounds great today, I’m not going to lie.

Never again do I desire to sit in another minimal nü-Nordic dining room for a dinner of lingonberry foam riffs and reindeer sweetmeats, thanks, but I’m still super here for good indie Scandinavian roasters like the ones amplified and shipped globally by KaffeBox. Highly recommended.

Manzanita Roasting — San Diego, California

The tagline says it all: “Yay for not running out of good coffee!” Manzanita Roasting of San Diego offers three different options for their coffee subscription plans, including two distinct blends and a “Manzanita Choice” subscription with ever-changing single origin options. Use code Freeshippingforall (case sensitive) for free shipping through March 31st, and consider doubling up your order with the 1+1 subscription option.

Partners Coffee — New York City

Our friends at Partners, those charming New York City & Brooklyn purveyors of tasty coffee and mellow vibes, offer a whole bunch of different subscription opportunities, including blends, decaf, and single origin. But the one I like the most is called the Roaster’s Choice, which features the tagline “A Coffee Journey Around The World”. Doesn’t that sound lovely? All travel is off at the moment but you can travel from the safety of your home, in the confines of your favorite coffee mug, with this subscription from Partners.

Onyx Coffee Lab — Northwest Arkansas

You have by now most assuredly heard of Onyx Coffee, the all-world-everything Arkansas coffee roaster helping define coffee’s next wave, building stunning cafes and winning coffee championships. Right now is the perfect time to get acquainted with them in your home coffee routine, in the form of a recurring subscription service. Give it as a gift, or hook yourself up. Select cadence, size and coffee style, including a half a dozen or so excellent blends or a single origin option of note. When your spouse is like “Onyx, what’s that?” you can be like—”It’s this good coffee from Arkansas, and we get it every week now.”

Verve Coffee — Santa Cruz, California

Customize your order, set up a recurring payment, ship on your schedule—bing, bang, boom, you’ve got coffee from California shipped straight to your door. Verve’s subscriptions can be gifted or set up personally, which is a nice touch, and you get to choose from a range of options from around the world, allowing you to focus on coffees from Africa or Latin America, if that’s your jam. Whole bean is always recommended but you can get it pre-ground if so desired, and order anywhere from 12 ounces to a kilo at a time delivered. Say you went with Streetlevel, Verve’s classic blend (not to be confused with Farmlevel, their sweet zine)—that would run a cool $16 per shipment, including shipping, for a weekly 12 ounce bag. You love to see it.

Yes Plz — Los Angeles, California

Beans & Zines is the tagline here for Yes Plz, a weekly coffee subscription service now with a monthly magazine. Every week a different blend arrives—sometimes it’s a “seven bean blend banger”, other times a subtle melange of, say, El Eden from Peru and El Tundo from Ecuador. The next cadence ships March 23rd and is available starting at just $17 shipped.

Some (but not all) of the roasters in this feature are advertising partners on the Sprudge Media Network. For a complete list of partners please consult the right hand side of this and every Sprudge feature.

The Daily Tulip

The Daily Tulip – International News From Around The World

Friday 16th June 2017

Good Morning Gentle Reader…. from a clear and warm Costa del Sol I hope the weather is similar where ever you are reading this missive from. As is my norm, I have walked Bella, under the stars in the early hours, the Colombian coffee brewed while I was out and now, returned cup full and the rich aromatic smell stimulating my thoughts, let’s take a look at some different news, to tell the truth, I also get fed up with writing about murder and mayhem and above all Trump so for a change and over coffee lets see what we make of it together...

GREEN-GLASS SPEARHEAD FOUND ON AUSTRALIA’S PRISON ISLAND…. Students from the University of Western Australia have uncovered a spearhead made of bright green glass on Rottnest Island, according to a report from ABC News. Nearly 4,000 Aboriginal men and boys were imprisoned on the island, also known as Wadjemup, between 1838 and 1931. The prisoners are thought to have made such spearheads from scrap pieces of glass for use in trade, building relationships, and for hunting small nocturnal marsupials called quokkas. The spearhead, which has been estimated to be at least 100 years old, has been reburied on the island.

WOODEN PALISADES AT AVEBURY DATED TO 5,300 YEARS AGO…. Live Science reports that a monument in Avebury, England, located about 23 miles away from Stonehenge, may be 800 years older than had been previously thought. The monument, which resembled a pair of eyeglasses outlined with tall, wooden posts, was first dated to 2500 B.C., or about the time that Stonehenge was built. Researchers recently employed new radiocarbon-dating techniques on pottery, animal bones, and charred remains of posts found in the monument’s post holes to arrive at the new, older date. “It’s much too large to be a stock enclosure; it’s got to be a ceremonial enclosure,” explained statistical archaeologist Alex Bayliss of Historic England. He thinks one enclosure may have been for men, and the other for women. Both were burned to the ground in what Bayliss called an “amazing spectacle.” Few remains of human occupation from the time have been found in the area, but later, Neolithic housing has been uncovered, suggesting that people returned to the site after the fire. They may even have been involved with the construction of the nearby chalk mound known as Silbury Hill.

300,000-YEAR-OLD FOSSILS RESEMBLE HOMO SAPIENS…. The Guardian reports that hominin remains resembling Homo sapiens have been discovered at a site known as Jebel Irhoud in Morocco and dated to 300,000 years ago, making them 100,000 years older than the oldest known Homo sapiens remains from East Africa. The fossils were found in a limestone cave whose roof had been damaged by mining operations, among flint tools, gazelle bones, and lumps of charcoal. The fossils include a partial skull, a jawbone, teeth, and limb bones from three adults, a juvenile, and a child of about eight years old. The lower jaw is similar to that of modern humans, but larger, and the braincase is more elongated. “The face of the specimen we found is the face of someone you could meet on the tube in London,” said Jean-Jacques Hublin of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. The researchers also note that the tools had been made with flint obtained about 30 miles to the south, and had been resharpened several times. They think the hominins may have traveled to the area to hunt gazelles, and carried their tools with them.

SHIPWRECK IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC…. Reports that divers and archaeologists from the Australian National Maritime Museum and the Silentworld Foundation attempted to visit the wreckage of the Jenny Lind, a sailing ship that sank in 1850 after it struck the Kenn Reefs, a submerged atoll located amid the Coral Sea Islands. The Jenny Lind was found during a survey in 1987, but the researchers could not find a trace of the vessel on this latest expedition. They think the ship, remembered for the spectacular survival story of the 28 people on board, were broken up by powerful tidal currents and tropical weather. The researchers were able to record the positions of cannons, anchors, and ballast stones from four other nineteenth-century wrecks, however, that were probably traveling along the major trade route between Australia and the French and Dutch Pacific colonies. The reef was eventually added to official navigation charts in 1859.

PALEOCOASTAL DEPOSITS DISCOVERED ON SANTA ROSA ISLAND CALIFORNIA…. The Ventura County Star reports that artifacts estimated to be between 8,000 and 13,000 years old have been uncovered in Channel Islands National Park. The site, found under a 150-year-old ranch house that has been lifted up off the ground in order to install a new foundation, has yielded a Channel Islands barbed point and a crescent, both of which are thought to have been used by ancestors of the Chumash people to hunt and fish. “Usually, when we find the two of them together, the site is at least 10,000 years old and could be 12,000 years old or older,” said Jon Erlandson of the University of Oregon.

Well Gentle Reader I hope you enjoyed our look at the archaeological news from around the world this, Friday morning…something different over your Colombian Coffee …

Our Tulips today are a swath of pink at sunrise…..

A Sincere Thank You for your company and Thank You for your likes and comments I love them and always try to reply, so please keep them coming, it's always good fun, As is my custom, I will go and get myself another mug of "Colombian" Coffee and wish you a safe Friday 16th June 2017 my home on the southern coast of Spain, where the blue waters of the Alboran Sea washes the coast of Africa and Europe and the smell of the night blooming Jasmine and Honeysuckle fills the air…and a crazy old guy and his dog Bella go out for a walk at 4:00 am…on the streets of Estepona…

All good stuff....But remember it’s a dangerous world we live in

Be safe out there…

Robert McAngus
