For International Beer Day, Italian beer brand Peroni joined forces with Il Laboratorio del Gelato to create a free beer-flavored gelato. At two Manhattan Il Laboratorio locations, the uniquely refreshing treat was made available to share a crisp taste of Peroni beer and fresh lemon juice. Naturally, the Peroni Gelato sold out quickly and Il Laboratorio del Gelato offered up a fresh new batch for online ordering nationwide.
The collaboration was a natural one, because both brands have a strong connection to Italy, and traditional Italian methods of making ice cream were involved in bringing the Peroni Gelato to fruition. As such, the treat is said to be "a crisp and refreshing, quintessentially Italian treat perfect for summer."
