The two greatest treats on a hot day are cold booze and a fudge ripple cone, so when Sweet Action Ice Cream featured beer-flavored creamy treats at a Denver festival, it got quite a bit of attention.
Sweet Action formulated six new scoopable concoctions out of Colorado beers. With flavors like 'Cherry Kriek,' 'Maple Pale Ale,' 'Smoked Porter Smores' and 'Double Chocolate Stout,' visitors at the Great American Beer Festival were treated to another delicious form of the refreshing beverage.
