Entertainment & Activities
If You're a coffee lover like us we love getting into the nitti gritty and seeing how its made and how they roast and taste what the difference is. Every Last Friday of the month at 3pm the Rumble boys do a great tasting tour of some of their current and stuff they are just testing. They go through the ins and outs of how to smell and taste and the differences and why. A really great hour of coffee world behind the scenes experience.
