Ben & Jerry's + New Belgium? Yes, please.

You’ve heard about it, people are talking about it, and now we’re ready to give you the exclusive big scoop behind the beer details of our upcoming Ben & Jerry’s collaboration, Salted Caramel Brownie Brown Ale (can I get a “yum”?).
So what exactly goes into making a Salted Caramel Brownie Brown Ale? As you can guess, a hefty amount of malts and specialty ingredients.
First, off let’s look at the malts: A blend of pale malt, caramel Munich and chocolate malt converge for a wash of caramel, roasted malts, and chocolate. Next, we add specialty ingredients: All natural, free-trade cocoa powder, Bourbon-Madagascar vanilla, and a dose of salt for a sweet-and-savory sensation. Our house ale yeast and a restrained amount of Nugget and Goldings hops round out the ingredient bill. Thirsty yet?
The finished product has a luscious, creamy mouthfeel that caries decadent cocoa and vanilla flavors with a slight saline finish, while an aroma of rich brownie batter, vanilla and dried cherries accents each delicious sip.
“We wanted to create a beer to complement ice cream (salted, caramel, vanilla, chocolate),” says assistant brewmaster Grady Hull. “Each raw material chosen has a direct line to an ice cream ingredient. Individually delicious, but a flavor explosion when paired together.”
Get ready for this special collaboration: It hits Folly Packs late October, and will be in sixers and on draft starting Nov. 2.
