By Adam Parr –
As an avid sportsman, I’m always looking for ways to do more in regards to conversation and wildlife preservation. With hunter participation on the decline, revenue from license sales are falling which means less money allocated for protection of our wildlife, habitat, and public lands. I believe it’s in everyone’s best interest who is dedicated to the outdoors to give back where you can, even if it’s just a few bucks here and there.
When I discovered Skull Brew Coffee Co and the things they were doing to help give back, I knew I had to get on board and give them a try. Drinking kick-ass, great tasting coffee and knowing that a portion of each sale is donated to conservation partners is totally a win, win for me.
Let’s just get this out of the way from the start. Bottom line is that I wouldn’t be writing this post right now if it tasted like your typical “run-of-the-mill” coffee because everything else is irrelevant if no one wants to drink it. I wouldn’t classify myself as a coffee snob but I’ve been around the block long enough to know what a good (and bad) cup tastes like and I can assure you, this is great coffee.
I tried the Skull Brew Backcountry Roast, which has a smoky rich profile with a bold taste. I’m a fan of dark roast coffee but sometimes they can be so dark it’s almost bitter and undrinkable. In my opinion, the Backcountry Roast is the perfect blend of bold and balanced, making it smooth and easy drinking. As a bonus, the outside packaging has a big bull elk skull printed on the background which I really like as a western hunter!
In addition to making a great tasting cup of joe, Skull Brew has partnered with a number of organizations such as the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF), Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA), and Backcountry Hunters and Anglers (BHA). Through these established partnerships, Skull Brew has committed to give back 10% of their profits to help fund conservation efforts and protect public lands.
It feels good knowing that I’m supporting a company who cares about wild places and that a portion of the money I’ve spent will go towards causes that mean the most to me.
What also makes Skull Brew Coffee unique is that each bag is roasted to order which means that you’re getting the freshest coffee beans possible sent right to your door. Again, I’m not a coffee connoisseur by any means but there is definitely a big difference from ordinary coffee.
For an even fresher taste, I ordered a bag of whole beans instead of ground so I can grind a fresh batch every morning. There is nothing like the powerful aroma of freshly ground coffee beans to start your day off right.
Clint Campbell is the founder of Skull Brew Coffee and is also the host of a popular podcast called Truth From The Stand and has featured articles in QDMA’s Quality Whitetails Magazine. He lives, eats, and breathes hunting and conservation.
Supporting a company that gives back with a person behind it who exudes all aspects of a true sportsman is something that I can easily get on board with. If you’re interested in trying Skull Brew for yourself, please visit www.skullbrewcoffee.com
