Iron Mule’s story is proof that the best ideas can start on a hiking trail. What began as Matt Bishop handing out free cold brew with his mule in the Boise foothills has grown into a coffee company serving 12 states and over 300 stores—without losing its local soul. Even as prices for coffee beans skyrocket, Iron Mule keeps giving back, hosting free trail coffee days and donating thousands to trail conservation. It’s more than just coffee; it’s about building community and keeping Boise’s outdoor spirit alive. Would you join a trail coffee meetup? #Food #Boise #CoffeeCulture
