Beyond the Beans

The Bean & Biscuit Coffeehouse in Greencastle, Pa.

Everyone is looking for a pickme-up, especially around the holidays. From gifting coffee to those you love to serving the tastiest beans on a family-filled gathering at dessert, River Bottom Roasters has crafted the perfect blend to keep everyone happy.

While we’re talking gifts, our RBR Crew Subscription (coffee delivered every month at the frequency you choose) or a hearty gift card can easily do the trick for a fun stocking stuffer. With more blends and single origin roasts in the works every year, there is no time like the present to become a fan of our coffee. Even better, grab one of our Roasters Sampler packs and get my personal picks to give our beans a taste. Brewing at home really has never been easier – or tastier.

River Bottom Roasters beans may be the perfect holiday gift, but did you know you can even support our craft roasts by purchasing at local small businesses? From Maryland to West Virginia to Pennsylvania, smaller coffee shops are using our roasts in their delicious craft coffees, so supporting them is truly supporting us!

In Maryland, Frederick Coffee Company is serving up our beans in their craft lattes, or head to Middletown’s Main Cup and grab a cup and a bag of our beans to go. Hagerstown delights with our roasts in drip or craft coffee at Free Range Café & Coffee Co, JP Mino, and Brooke’s House, just to name a few. And, in downtown Boonsboro, you can find us at Stone Werks.

West Virginia boasts A.M. Brews in Martinsburg – a quaint coffee spot delivering power-packed lattes and cold brew. Just a short drive away, catch our beans at The Grind in Ripley, or H.B. Snalleygaster’s in Harpers Ferry. Greencastle, Pa., brings you to downtown’s The Bean & Biscuit Coffeehouse or a short hop and a skip to Lotus Bowls & Juicery in Chambersburg where our cold brew is on deck.

Sometimes the holiday season is not so much about promoting how you can help our singular small business, but how helping several can come full circle. We encourage you to shop small and keep it local as you venture out to find that perfect gift.
