MCKEES ROCKS — From the Grand Canyon to Cleveland, and California to back home in McKees Rocks, Black Forge Coffee House is doing what it can to help devastated concert venues.
Black Forge Coffee created its own Save Our Stages blend of java, available for $25 a bag, with proceeds given to independent concert sites whose employees are out of work due to the pandemic.
Believing the mission needed to be spread coast-to-coast, Black Forge owner Ashley Corts bought a van and hit the road, selling Save Our Stages (S.O.S.) coffee in pop-up fashion, outside of concert venues, tattoo shops or other small businesses that welcomed her.
