To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Cadbury Creme Egg teamed up with Goose Island to create a creme egg beer that's said to taste just like the chocolate easter treat. The Golden Goo-Beer-Lee Creme Stout celebrates Creme Egg’s golden jubilee and does so with ingredients like malted barley, oats, wheat and milk sugar that mimic the richness and creamy texture of the beloved confection. The limited-edition stout is brewed with cacao nibs and vanilla beans, offering a different way for fans to appreciate the creme and chocolate notes.
The flavors of the stout are said to perfectly pair well with the iconic Cadbury Creme Egg and the Golden Goo-Beer-Lee Creme Stout can be found in packs of two online through Goose Island for only a limited time this spring.
