Donut-Infused Beers

This Louisville-Based Bakeshop is Now Selling Beer Made from Donuts

— February 23, 2016 — Lifestyle
A Louisville-based bakeshop is currently selling beer made from donuts and other sweet ingredients. Partially inspired by Homer Simpson's iconic love of beer and donuts, Hi-Five Doughnuts has come up with the ultimate form of indulgence.

According to a news release from Hi-Five Doughnuts, the shop has come up with a delicious new creation that they are calling 'Mmm…D’oh! Nuts.' The beer was made by adding Hi-Five Doughnuts and a gallon of vanilla glaze to the beer mixture during the brewing process. The lactose and the brown sugar found in the sweet pastries give the beer a sweet, vanilla flavor that perfectly complements the smoky brew.

While the idea of beer made from donuts may sound unusual, the tasty creation is indicative of a growing demand for hybrid food and beverages.
Trend Themes
1. Hybrid Food and Beverages - The donut-infused beer is a prime example of the growing demand for hybrid food and beverages.
2. Indulgent Flavors - The sweet, vanilla flavor of the donut-infused beer demonstrates the popularity of indulgent flavors in food and beverages.
3. Nostalgic Pairings - The combination of beer and donuts taps into the trend of nostalgic pairings that evoke childhood memories.
Industry Implications
1. Craft Brewing - Craft breweries can explore using unconventional ingredients, like donuts, to create unique and innovative beer flavors.
2. Bakery - Bakeries can collaborate with breweries to infuse their pastries into beer, offering new products and expanding their customer base.
3. Food and Beverage Manufacturing - Food and beverage manufacturers can experiment with combining different flavors, like donuts and beer, to create innovative and marketable products.
