Two great Austin area companies Amy's Ice Cream and Jester King Craft Brewery are collaborating on what I would refer to as Craft Brewed Ice Cream. Amy's has done a few beer Ice creams in the past Shiner is usually easy to find at most Amy's locations. This one is a bit more exciting though.

Truffle Truffle

I stumbled upon a company named Truffle Squared this morning and I'm glad I did. They produce some creative gourmet candies that I'm itching to get my hands on. "What does this have to do with beer?" you might ask. Well Truffle Squared has a line of chocolates entitled super bowl collection, which combines three of my favorite edibles on earth chocolate, pretzels, and beer.

The candies are produced in four different forms; beer & preztel marshmallows, beer & pretzel brittle, beer & pretzel truffles, and beer and pretzel caramels.

I'm going to order some of the beer & pretzel truffles and pair them up with an imperial stout. I'll review them when I get my hands on them. You can do so here.

Cheers,
