Gearhead - Beadlock Texas Pecan Roast

Greetings my fellow Fox River Roustabouts and welcome back to the shop. It is about time for another coffee review and since it’s International Coffee Day I figured let's roll!! Today I will be reviewing Gearhead’s “Beadlock Texas Pecan Roast” coffee. This is part of the sample pack I purchased from Gearhead a while back. I have several friends who own Jeeps and it’s because of them that I knew a beadlock is a device used, especially on vehicles built for rough offroad use, it helps keep the bead of the tire seated in the rim when the tire is experiencing abnormal stress. Often when off roading in rocky terrain drivers will decrease the pressure in their tires to allow the softer tires to grip the available surfaces a little better. If they did this without a beadlock there is a chance the tire could pop off the rim and cause a real problem. This coffee definitely got a grip on me. Enjoy.

First Coffee Review Video - 427 Stroker from Gearhead Coffee

Greetings my fellow Fox River Roustabouts, welcome back to the shop. Well, here it is! The premier video from my new coffee review series. In this video I will be reviewing the “427 Stroker” blend of coffee from Gearhead Coffee. As I was trying to figure out which coffee to start with on this series I happened to notice ads for Gearhead coffee showing up in a lot of my feeds so eventually I checked them out. The company is obviously targeting a demographic that is interested in car culture. The coffee I’m reviewing first is a nod to the iconic “Mystery Motor” used by racing legends Mickey Thompson and Smokey Yunick. When I was in high school I figured I wanted to be a mechanic when I graduated so I took all the classes related to that like small engines class, automotive concepts both one and two, auto maintenance, ect. I’ve always liked cars and trucks, especially old ones and hotrods and while I didn't end up becoming an automotive mechanic I did end up working on trucks and heavy equipment so I still fit in the gearhead catagory. Looking at their website I discovered they offered a sample pack of six different blends with enough of each blend to brew a full pot of coffee. This seems like a great way to start the series so I ordered the sample pack and here is the first review.
