Covington, Kentucky-based Braxton Brewing Co., with some help from Graeter’s Ice Cream, is relaunching Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip Milk Stout, inspired by one of Graeter’s oldest traditional flavors, Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip. With Graeter’s exclusive black raspberry puree, Braxton Brewing Co. offers beer drinkers a dark brew with notes of roasted barley and a creamy texture.
To help celebrate the relaunch of the milk stout, Cincinnati, Ohio-based Graeter’s is creating a limited-edition Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip doughnut, available only at Braxton Brewing Co.’s taproom and select Graeter’s bakery locations.
During launch weekend, visitors to Braxton’s taproom in Bellvue, Kentucky, will be able to enjoy a series of celebrations:
- Friday, Feb. 1: Specialty Graeter’s Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip Doughnuts, highlighting Doughnut Friday and live music in the taproom from Tracy Walker;
- Saturday: Live music in the taproom from Buffalo Wabs & The Price Hill Hustle; and
- Sunday: Build-your-own Sundae Bar, kicking off Graeter’s Family Sunday’s.
Consumers can visit Braxton Brewing Co.’s taprooms to try the Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip Milk Stout. Cans will be sold in Kroger stores throughout northern Kentucky as well as Columbus, Cleveland, Dayton and Cincinnati, Ohio, for a limited time, beginning the week of Feb. 4.
