Braxton and Graeter’s Ice Cream are back at it with a new collaboration. This time, the brewery and dessert maker have combined forces to create a special Key Lime Pie Ale based off of Graeter’s seasonal Key Lime Pie ice cream.
According to a press release, the beer has “flavors of authentic key lime and hints of graham cracker crust (which) hit the palate like a tangy and sweet wave of refreshment.” Sounds appetizing.
The beer is on draft at Braxton starting May 24, with a full weekend’s worth of events to celebrate the release. It hits store shelves in four-pack cans today.
Friday, the beer will be on tap starting at 8 a.m. Graeter’s will be in the taproom — which will be decorated in a tropical theme — serving donuts to pair with Braxton’s Starter Coffee or a pint.
Saturday, there will be a vacation-themed photo booth at Braxton from 6-9 p.m., with Reggae music from the Flex Crew at 7 p.m.
Sunday, head back to the taproom for a beer and Graeter’s sundae bar noon-2:30 p.m.
Braxton is located at 27 W. Seventh St., Covington. Get release weekend event details here.
