ELLENSBURG, Wash. — Mocha Death is your Pacific Northwest toolkit that now comes in 6-pack 12 oz cans so it’s even easier to take with you on your next campout.
It’s a dark beer with a huge espresso nose – so big you can taste it. Pure cocoa and all the complexity of our Irish Death rolled together with the aforementioned coffee notes to dole out a highly enjoyable slap in the face. It pairs well with campfires, trail mix and breakfast, so next time you whip up those pancakes you might want to whip out a can of Mocha Death.
Iron Horse is celebrating the release of this beer in cans by giving away a single tap kegerator so consumers and fandvocates (fans and advocates) can drink their favorite brew whenever desire strikes. Two grand prize winners will receive a kegerator that will be stuffed with Iron Horse Brewery merchandise, 50 pounds of coffee, a grinder and mugs, so they’ll be ready for anything in the Pacific Northwest.
A consumer favorite returns.
According to Andrew E., Mocha Death is “Decent.”
Another fan, Sean C., countered with “Rich chocolate and mocha taste. Great bold start and finishing to it. Awesome tasting and deadly. Sometimes, I wish it was year round.”
Local coffee roaster
Mocha Death is made in collaboration with D&M Coffee Roasters, which has been roasting their delicious beans for over 20 years.
“‘Local working with local’ is one of our favorite awkward phrases and one of our more important company philosophies,” said Greg Parker, owner and general manager at Iron Horse Brewery. “D&M is actively involved in our farmlandian town of Ellensburg through fundraisers, civic engagement, community events and providing enough wakey-wakey fuel to keep motoring on everyday. We’re glad to continue working with them as we move to our new 6-packs.”
“Mocha Death in six-packs is a highly enjoyable organoleptic experience,” said Ross Chalstrom, interloper of press release quotes. “The only thing missing is a flannel shirt, which we’re guessing you’ll bring to whatever occasion you find yourself in.”
