Metric Coffee Unveils Cannabis Cold Brew on 4/20

CBD-infused coffee will hit the menu at Metric Coffee in Chicago today.


Typically serving its patrons liquid fuel, beginning April 20, Chicago’s celebrated micro-roaster Metric Coffee—which landed in West Fulton a year and a half ago—will help denizens mellow out. Partners Ben Houtkamp, Darko Arandjelovic, and Xavier Alexander are introducing a limited-run batch of Hellion Cold Brew—sister brand to Metric—infused with cannabis ($13), or more specifically CBD (cannabidiol), the plant’s legal, non-psychoactive compound that’s lauded for a laundry list of therapeutic and medicinal benefits, like decreasing anxiety, alleviating pain, and combatting inflammation.

To start, Metric has produced just 25 12-ounce bottles, each of which contains 30 milligrams of CBD—a solid dose considering cannabis dispensaries typically sell CBD edibles, like gummies, portioned with 5 milligrams per candy. “We’re fascinated by CBD’s apparent ability to chill us out,” states Houtkamp of the group’s decision to tweak their chilled coffee with a medicinal slant.
