Why does it take so long for mankind to implment these seemingly simple ideas? But the long wait is over. Yes, it’s **Beer-flavoured ice cream**!

Vanilla ice cream with a cream stout swirl and salty-sweet chocolate covered pretzels. ---

That sounds rather disgusting, to be honest. (And I _like_ beer!) I’ll go for the Revenge of Chocolate Overload instead. * * * “I thought: opera, how hard can it be? Songs. Pretty girls dancing.

Actually, an ice cream stand here in Columbus, **Scream** , (in the North Market) has had a beer flavored ice cream for a few years. Pretty good, too. This place also has a chocolate chili, French buttercream, something coriander, and my favorite, Zucker Daddy (burnt sugar)\> ---

Gilligan, I’ll have to run over on lunch this week and check it out! Good to see another Columbus-ite here on SDMB. MjS * * * The Sleeper has AWAKEN! ---

I was once served jalepano-cantaloupe sorbet. I was surprised to find that it was very good. I have not seen it offered again though. ---

Mean Joe, As you may have figured out if you left during lunch today, Scream is no longer in the North Market. I wish I knew where they ended up relocating to, because I LOVED that place. ☹ As for beer-flavored ice cream–well, I used to have a recipe for Guiness milkshakes that I’d show to my beer-drinking friends if they did something to deserve such punishment. I didn’t even have to make it–just showing them the recipe was enough to induce nausea. ---

You got me sad now, Drain Bead. I hadn’t been to the North Market since before the New Year, so I didn’t know it was gone. I’ll try to track it down and will post the new location here, if I find it. ---

There is a restaurant in Santa Fe that makes their own beer ice cream from their brewery beer. It’s supposedly made from a darker beer and have a somewhat chocalaty taste. They only serve it in the summer. * * * I am large, I contradict myself, I contain multitudes. ~Walt Whitman ---

Please do, Gilligan. I want to take Brian someday. You just haven’t lived until you try Basil ice cream…or maybe Bittersweet Chocolate Rose Petal…or the more mainstream White Chocolate Peppermint… Oh, and their Champagne sorbet was to die for. ---

Well, I guess the people at microbatch were a little over-confident in their statement “A world’s first (as far as we know).” Heck, they don’t even have lobster in their list of flavours! ---

Drain Bead, Thanks, but I hadn’t made it out yet and obviously now will take it off the list of things I need to do! hahaha… Now, Guinness milkshakes you say? Mmmmm… I love Guinness and milkshakes are always a good thing. What do I have to do to be punished by this recipe? * * * The Sleeper has AWAKEN! ---
