The Lime Coconut Donut beer and a lime coconut donut... the perfect pair

Grainworks Brewing Company in West Chester has a sweet and sour new beer release. 

The brewery is debuting a collaboration with Holtman's Donuts: a Lime Coconut Donut Gose. The gose is a German-style sour brew featuring flavors of lime, toasted coconut and a "few other secret ingredients to create a 'donut-like' taste," says the brewery. 

“When I first discussed the lime coconut donut with the team at Holtman's Donuts, I knew we had a winner," says Brian McGinnis, Grainworks’ Head Brewer, in a release. "But when I bit into one for the first time, it truly redefined what I thought a donut could be. It was juicy, it made my mouth water — it was incredible.”

Just like the beer, the lime coconut donut is a new release for Holtman's. Maggie Rochon, creative director at Holtman's, says, "We're always looking to push the envelope and come up with new, exciting recipes. This one stood out, and we knew it would be the perfect pairing with Grainworks' great beer." 

During the release party from 1-4 p.m. April 24, guests can try both the beer and the donut — together or separately. The beer will be released exclusively in the Grainworks taproom on that Saturday, on-tap and in four-packs, with the gose hitting bars, retailers and restaurants on April 27. 

Grab the gose to-go (in a pint or four-pack) and pair it with a discounted donut.

Grainworks is located at 7790 Service Drive, West Chester. For more info, visit Grainworks.Beer. The even is all-ages but you have to be 21+ to drink.
