Hogg Batch Brewing is one of the most sensational coffee concepts in St. Petersburg. It’s now open on weekends in the Grand Central District at 2327 Central Ave. Their hours are 8am-2pm Saturday and Sunday. If you need a taste of what they can do, try the signature cocktails that make use of their beans at COPA in the EDGE District, and The Cordova Inn in downtown St. Pete.
The local family-owned coffee roasting company makes their brew differently, and it’s one of the reason twin brothers David and Duane Hogg impressed our Whiskey Fest visitors so much; they craft drinks that bring meticulous care and wild creativity together in flavorful matrimony.

Creative coffee defines Hogg Batch
The painstakingly sourced green beans are aged in tequila, rum, whiskey, and bourbon barrels. Because the brothers source their barrels from all over, you’re bound to taste something different every time you visit their shop. Previous partnerships include Kozuba Distillery, Dark Door Spirits, and St. Pete Distillery.
The brothers began the concept several years ago on a stovetop with a cast iron skillet and a popcorn popper, sourcing their greens from home roasting supplier Sweet Maria’s. “Coffee + Bourbon represents two things that fuel our passions and cultivate the community around us,” say owned Duan and David. “Through the Art of experimentation, we are able to create coffee with a delightful surprise to wake up your daily routine.”
New cafe space, and an online shop
Side note: If you can’t make it out to their Grand Central District location, you can always purchase any of Hogg Batch’s roasts on their website.
You can find the charismatic owners roasting beans in front of their window. This all began in a small kitchen, and has since grown into one of the most interesting business successes in the Sunshine City. Its location situates it across the street from the brand new Grand Central Brewhouse, and the recently opened LALA Karaoke Bar. 
Passion for innovation permeates Hogg Batch
