One would think Denver Beer Fest and Great American Beer Festival would be a dream-come-true for any beer blogger. However, with
all of the events packed into one week, it doesn’t leave a lot of time for
blogging so forgive the lateness of this post.
Last week, I was excited to get my hands on a six-pack
of beer ice cream pints from Sweet Action Ice Cream. I couldn’t resist passing
up the opportunity to taste the marriage of beer and ice cream, two of my most
favorite things.
Chris picked up my pints of Tiramisu
Stout and Russian Rocky Road using beer from Renegade Brewing Company, Scotch Ale Yeti Cake using beer from Great DivideBrewing Co., Oktoberfest Chocolate Chip using beer from Copper Kettle Brewing Company, ESB Oreo using beer from
Breckenridge Brewery, and Grizzly Bear using root beer from Rocky Mountain Soda Co. When I got home from work, I conducted a taste test. Although it wasn’t
brewed with beer, my favorite is the Grizzly Bear; it has a chocolaty taste
with a root beer finish. My second favorite was the Tiramisu Stout which I knew
I needed to have as soon as I saw it posted on Sweet Action’s Facebook page and
it’s as delicious as I assumed. With its
coffee and chocolate flavors, it’s a rich treat. Actually, all of the flavors are quite tasty
but, of course, we all have our favorites. Perhaps you should visit Sweet
Action this afternoon. You’ll need a celebratory pint after the Broncos beat the Chargers in MNF.
In
addition to the flavors I purchased there’s also Ginger Beer Lime Sorbet using
ginger beer from Rocky Mountain Soda, Sweet Action Ale using beer from Six Point Brewery, Colorado Peach Wheat using beer
from Wynkoop Brewing Company, and Vegan
Maple Pale Ale using beer from Renegade. Ice cream goes fast at Sweet Action
because it really is irresistible; if they don’t have any more beer ice cream
then you have two options: 1) wait until next year or 2) check out their other
awesome fall inspired flavors. There’s
always something good at Sweet
Action!
