Please go vote for our friends at Mountain Table!! Their coffee is awesome and they are wonderful people. Couldn’t ask for a better combination than that!

We have some incredible news and we need your help spreading the word!

Our Bourbon Infused Coffee has been nominated for the West Virginia Manufacturers Association 2026 Coolest Thing Made in West Virginia.

This special roast is a celebration of West Virginia collaboration, infusing our organic coffee roasted in Renick, Greenbrier County, with award winning bourbon from The Bullock Distillery in Charleston.

The result is a rich, smooth, and aromatic cup of coffee with hints of oak, caramel, and vanilla that showcases the very best of Appalachian craft manufacturing.

The fan favorite voting round is open NOW through September 7th, and we need your support to help us reach the top five finalists!

Head over to https://www.coolestthingwv.com/nominees/bourbon-barrel-infused-coffee-mountain-table to cast your vote for Mountain Table every day, and share this post to help us spread the word. Thanks!

Hey Wildlings! Look who stopped by to help us restock Alderson's Store in historic downtown Alderson. Mothman!!!! 🤩

This is one of Mothman’s favorite stores! ❤️ He loves the history of the building and all the cool WV items they carry. Most of all, he loves that they have a TON of Mothman merchandise! (He’s a bit of a narcissist.) 🤭

Mothman also sported his new shirt during his visit. (He’s slightly obsessed with J.D. and his Creepalachia podcast.) 😆 If you’re weird like us and want to score some Creepalachia gear of your very own, go to Creepalachia.shop.
