Doughnut-Inspired Craft Beers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Glazer Bean' Beer Features a Chocolate Coffee Stout Profile

— November 20, 2019 — Marketing
The 'Glazer Bean' beer has been unveiled as a collaboration product between Wisconsin-based brewery Karen 4 and Kwik Trip that will offer consumers an indulgent way to enjoy the flavors of premium coffee.

The beer is a chocolate coffee stout that's made with cold brew coffee along with liquid cacao and lactose, which works to create a complex flavor profile that is not being touted as a dessert beer. The libation is sure to be a hit amongst the increasing number of consumers seeking out craft beer options that boast a local profile and unexpected ingredient list.

The 'Glazer Bean' beer has already received impressive feedback from customers and could potentially be made available outside of Wisconsin in Iowa and Minnesota.
