The beverage is part of the company's bar-like "Starbucks Evening" menu, which is available at a limited number of locations across the country and around the world.

The Espresso Cloud IPA consists of a chilled shot of espresso dropped into a glass of beer adorned with a coffee froth head.

The man behind the inventive pairing is Justin Burns-Beach, a member of the stores' research and development team.

Perhaps it's time to switch out margarita Mondays for a Starbucks happy hour!
