The BrewDog x Mackie's of Scotland stout beer is a limited-edition libation created in collaboration between the brewery and the ice cream brand to offer consumers something unexpected to try out this season.
The honeycomb ice cream stout is inspired by one of Mackie's most popular ice cream flavors and was developed with the brewing team at BrewDog to ensure the utmost attention to quality. The beer boasts the flavors of honeycomb ice cream in every sip, which is infused into the stout beer to give it a rich, sweet and indulgent profile. The beer comes in with a 7% ABV.
Director of Global Brewing James Kemp commented on the BrewDog x Mackie's of Scotland stout beer saying, "Mackie’s is a household name across Scotland and beyond, and it’s been fantastic to work with them on this project. We wanted to create a beer that feels indulgent but still distinctly BrewDog, and honeycomb provided the perfect inspiration. The result is a stout that offers something new for both craft beer lovers and Mackie’s fans alike – it’s a real celebration of Aberdeenshire’s food and drink strengths."
