Back in 2022 we released the first edition of Psychedelic Death with Perkatory Coffee Roasters. It arrived during the slow return to public life, when cafés were open again but still tentative. Collaboration offered warmth. It reminded us that coffee is something shared, not just purchased.

The coffee industry values individuality, and that independence has its place. But it can also create distance. Breweries have shown another way. Their openness to collaboration built a culture of exchange and experimentation. We wondered what might happen if specialty coffee allowed itself the same freedom.

Perkatory felt like the right partner. Their aesthetic and roasting approach complemented ours without blurring the lines. The collaboration never aimed for novelty. It felt sincere.

☠️ Psychedelic Death blends coffees from Cameroon, Panama, and Malawi. Perkatory roasted part of the blend and Monsoon roasted the other. Death By Coffee and Nate Duval combined their visual styles to create artwork with real presence. Nothing about it feels accidental.

In the cup it offers notes of raspberries and marzipan, with a balanced medium body and a steady, deliberate structure.

This second edition carries the same spirit as the first. Collaboration expands what coffee can be. It invites curiosity and connection in a craft that often works in quiet, separate spaces.

🎄 The Kringle Market at The Urban Food Brood 🎄
December 7, 2025 | 10 AM to 4 PM | $2 at the door (to help with overhead)

Once a year, the graffiti warehouse at Gasoline Alley becomes the heart of the Pioneer Valley. The Kringle Market gathers twenty-five of the Valley’s most skilled artists and makers for one day of creativity, connection, and community.

You’ll find pottery still warm from the kiln, woodwork that smells like cedar, and paintings that carry the fingerprints of their creators. Jewelry, textiles, and pieces made with care, skill, and soul. Nothing here is mass-produced or anonymous. Every artist has a story, and every purchase keeps that story alive.

This is what holiday shopping should feel like: buying gifts with intention, choosing pieces that mean something, and keeping your dollars where they matter most: in your own community. Every sale supports a local artist, a small business, and a real person doing what they love.

This year’s market is packed with joy and surprises:
🔮 Tarot readers
🎅 Drag Santa
🎶 Mariachi band
🎨 Free face painting
💆 Free chair massages
🐾 Pet supply drive for Daiken

Upstairs, The Urban Food Brood will be alive with music, laughter, and the smell of coffee and good food. The Marketplace will hold even more surprises, additional vendors, new artists, and that same spark of connection that makes this day feel like home. It’s a place to slow down, share a moment, and remember what this season is truly about. ☕️

There are six hours of warmth, artistry, and community waiting for you. Only $2 to enter the enchantment, your small part in keeping this day alive for everyone. It also enters you to win various gifts and prizes!

If you’d like to volunteer, send us a DM. 💌

"🎤 Yo…
Pumpkin drops every fall like it owns the throne,
same orange act, same overplayed tone.
I’m colder, smoother, built to stand alone
a flavor that don’t beg to be known.

I don’t play by your pumpkin plan,
don’t blend in with your spiced-up clan.
Uninvited, still I take my stand
’cause that’s just the way I yam." ... the sauce seemed to say 😏

The special drops this weekend.
