THE BUILDING OF A COLD BREW BRAND

THE BUILDING OF A COLD BREW(bro͞o) BRAND

Grady’s(ā) Cold Brew is a New Orleans(ˈôrlēənz, ôrˈlē(ə)nz)–Style cold brew that started as a Bottled(ˈbɑdld) Concentrate(ˈkänsənˌtrāt) back in 2011, now available in Ready to Drink, and Brew-it-Yourself interpretations(inˌtərprəˈtāSH(ə)n). Roasted(ˈrōstəd), blended(blend), and brewed in NYC. We cold brew a special blend of coffee, chicory(ˈCHikərē), and spices(spīs) for 20 hours, resulting in a velvety(ˈvelvədē)-smooth(smo͞oT͟H) cup with every pour(pôr).

Grady’s NOLA Cold Brew has a creamy(ˈkrēmē) mouthfeel(ˈmouTHfēl) with tasting(ˈtāstiNG) notes of chocolate and caramel(ˈkerəməl). The use of chicory is what makes the coffee NOLA style and gives it a natural, subtle(ˈsədl) sweetness. Adding our signature blend of spices emboldens(əmˈbōldən) and deepens the flavor(ˈflāvər) profile where many other cold brews fall flat(flat).

The company started like any great food and beverage(ˈbev(ə)rij) company - in a kitchen somewhere in Brooklyn. Working in production at GQ, Grady began to sling(sliNG) his signature brew in the elevator(ˈeləˌvādər) banks at Conde(kändā) Nast. Word spread quickly and soon people were hounding(hound) him for their fix. It wasn’t long before Grady’s Cold Brew received the highly covetable(ˈkəvədəb(ə)l) GQ feature and Grady quit(kwit) his day job. Partnering with co-founders Dave(dāv) and Kyle(kal), the three hustled(ˈhəsəl) to brew and distribute all week and gained exposure(ikˈspōZHər) selling iced coffee by the cup at Smorgasburg(ˈsmôrɡəsˌ bərɡ) on weekends.

Fast-forward to 2017, and we’re all moved into our new 15,000 sq.(skwer) ft. brewery(ˈbro͞o(ə)rē) in the Bronx(bräNGks). It’s a wonderland of stainless(ˈstānləs) steel(stēl) tanks(taNGk) and machinery(məˈSHēn(ə)rē) that will allow the company to maintain premium(ˈprēmēəm) quality, while growing in volume(ˈvälyəm).

We’re thrilled(THril) to have you along for the ride(rīd) and will continue to produce a product that Grady is proud to put his name on.

Cheers(CHirz),

Grady
