Finally life is worth living!

“NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Homer Simpson, make room in your freezer. The world's first beer-flavored ice cream has arrived.

Scottish Courage, the big U.K. brewer, last week began selling to British consumers ice cream that tastes like Newcastle Brown Ale, one of the company's flagship brands. The product is made via a joint venture with Doddington Dairies, which, like Scottish Courage, is located in Northeast England.

Doddington, an award-winning dairy, is making the superpremium ice cream. It will sell initially at supermarkets in Northumberland and Newcastle, and only during the summer months.

Linda Bain, a spokeswoman for Scottish Courage, confirmed the launch, and noted that it's already attracting local attention. "I was driving home last night, and they were conducting a taste test on the radio," she said.

The ice cream's taste is said to reflect the nutty, caramel flavors of the namesake ale.

The two companies have agreed to a six-month licensing arrangement, in which the product is to be test marketed to gauge its popularity. According to a report by the market research firm Datamonitor, sales of the ice cream may fare best in Northeast England, where both companies have strong brand appeal to consumers.

It should be noted that while publicity may create a buzz, the product itself will not. The ice cream contains less than 1 percent alcohol.”

“they need to make Guinness ice cream! now i would eat the hell out of that. it already tastes like chocolate.”

“LMAO @ the title!!”

“Although Guinness is my favorite I like Newcastle as well. I don't know about it being an ice cream flavor.”

“You know what, lyra? Guinness would be good! I like to think of it as a "Meal in a Can"! Thick and creamy, AAAAggghhhhhh, Guinness....”

“wipe that drool off, Homer! :-D”

“If not for Guiness the Irish would be mal-nourished.”

“If not for Guiness the Irish would be mal-nourished and pale.

They are just pale.”

“Now they'll card me just to buy ice cream!”

“Black and Tan ice cream.....

no thanks.”

“Hey, take it easy on the Irish. My lineage is Irish & Cherokee Indian. Was I destined to drink or what.”

“Mmmmm, beer ice cream...”

“...and the 'Irish curse' is pretty bad too.”

“noooooooo, you DON'T want Guinness icecream, LOL. I made some once and that #&%!$ is NASTY, LOLOL

Don't believe me? They're your tastebuds I guess... but Don't Say I Didn't Warn Ya!



GUINNESS STOUT ICE CREAM

The malt flavor of Guinness stout marries well with the sugar and milk in this distinctive ice cream--inspired by a recipe from the files of the American Homebrewers Association--and the faintly bitter aftertaste cuts the sweetness.

1 cup water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup Guinness stout

In a heavy saucepan whisk together the water and the cornstarch and simmer the mixture over moderate heat, whisking, for 2 minutes. Add the milks, the salt, and the sugar, heat the mixture over moderately low heat, whisking, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the sugar is dissolved, and remove the pan from the heat. Let the mixture cool completely, stir in the Guinness, and freeze the mixture in an ice-cream freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Makes about 1 quart

“How about just finding an ultra-cold freezer and making Guinness-Pops?”

“woah Tilt, you actually made it? i'll be darned!”

“I oughta make that so I can keep my kids from bogarting the ice cream.”

“"bogarting"? ha!! do you say that to them? "duuuuudes, like don't bogart the ice cream, man!"”

“I say weird stuff to my kids all the time just to make them look at me funny, lol...”

“My mother always said that a beer sundae was tasty.

Guess I now understand while I was bottle-fed and don't like milk!
:-D”

“YUENGLING!!!!”

“Gesundheit!”

“well, yuengling lager... the best”

“Somehow, after reading only part of the first sentence of this post, I knew it was you, aero!”

“I'll whip up a batch for that first night in Calgary!”

“*Hic*, no occifer, I was not drinking and *hic* driving. I was just *hic* eating ice cream. Wan some?”

“Mmm, Newcastle...one of our favorites.”

“Aero! You da man!!”

“There is a God.”

“I'm thinking if coffee ice cream can be sooo good, a nice dark beer ice cream stands a chance! I'm sending an e-mail to ben & jerry's... I'm thinking beer and peanuts, they can call it "Homer berry crunch"”

“Better yet, replace that 1/2 cup of sugar with DME (Dried Malt Extract..malt sugar) available at any homebrew supply shop.”

“uhhhmmm......vanilla please....i'll drink the beer”

“Well, I REALLY like garlic bread and I REALLY like chocolate icecream, but I'm NEVER going to try to combine them! LOL”

“If it's love, give chocolate beer

Samuel Adams brews up chocolate-flavored beer for Valentine's Day; says it complements chicken.

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - This Valentine's Day, give something that has romance written all over it, such as chocolate beer.

Boston-based brewing firm Samuel Adams said Friday it's launching a limited-edition chocolate-flavored beer for the Feb. 14 holiday.

Sam Adam's Chocolate Bock
"Beer and chocolate are two pleasures that should be enjoyed and savored," said Samuel Adams founder Jim Koch. "We knew that we were up to the challenge to create an unexpected brew that could perfectly complement a Valentine's Day meal or be given as a special gift."”

“WEIRDNESS.”

“I might have to try that.”

“I drink brown beer, but there's a limit.”

“Somehow this crosses a line I am unwilling to cross. I'll drink my beer before dinner and eat my chocolate after....although the combination of beer and chocolate could probably help even the most ugly guys have a nice valentine night.......”

“Sounds good to me.

They make a black cherry beer here in Philly that is pretty good. Sounds weird, I know, but it's good stuff.

Sami Klaus, a very expensive malty Swiss beer, has a chocolate taste to it. It's great.”

“So you guys don't nibble on a dark chocolate bar while drinking Guiness Stout? Hmmm...I guess it's just me then.

This sounds really good.”

“Sweet mother of Christ, there really is a God.”

“If they could combine it with sex, somehow, you'd have the trifecta!”

“I always thought the trifecta was food + tv + sex? As acording to George Castanza.”

“Well, I can think of a way, but I doubt if many people would like it...”

“Barkeep! Sam Adams Chocolate Colonics for all my friends!”

“Alimentary Ale?”

“Shatz beer?”

“Schlitz is close enough!”

“Dang! And I already went and bought the jewelry!”

“I guess I could send it back and get the beer instead??”
