Ben & Jerry's recently announced the release of a new ice cream flavor that is inspired by it's sweet brown ale. Earlier this year, Ben & Jerry's partnered with New Belgium Brewing to produce an ice cream-inspired beer. This sweet brown ale is now available as ice cream as well.
The 'New Salted Caramel Brown-ie Ale' ice cream is a limited edition flavor inspired by the company's 'Salted Caramel Brownie Ale' beer. The frozen treat is made from New Belgium Brown Ale Ice Cream, slated caramel swirls and fudgy brownie pieces. The ice cream is designed to complement the beer, which contains chocolaty notes and hints of vanilla. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the ice cream and beer will go to an organization called 'Protect Out Winters,' which aims to combat the effects of climate change.
For those eager to get their hands on a pint of ice cream and a pint of beer, the products will be available for the duration of the holiday season.
