Finally! An Ice Cream for the Rest of Us.

Doddington Dairies of Northumberland, England has developed a new ice cream whose main ingredient is beer! Specifically, that beer is Newcastle Brown Ale, which is used to flavor many foods. “We were looking for an ice cream flavour that was distinctive, and had a strong identity with the region,” said Jackie Maxwell, director of Doddington Dairy.

“Every part of the process has been great for us – from the design of the cartons, through to testing the ale syrup for just the right flavour.” To get jugged, you’ll have to eat many gallons of the stuff, as the cooking process of the dessert only leaves 1% alcohol. The ice cream will only be available during the summer months. Source: BBC News
