Last Crumb x Guinness launched a limited-edition collection, featuring three cookies baked with the signature flavor of Guinness and three classic Last Crumb varieties to pair perfectly with a pint.
The three cookies baked with the flavor of Guinness include the Pub Cookie, a Guinness Chocolate Chip creation with the roasted flavor of Guinness Draught, buttery toffee and dark chocolate; Twist & Stout, a Guinness Raspberry Cocoa Milkshake cookie inspired by the Irish pub tradition of adding fruit syrup to a pint; and Not Your Nan's, a Guinness Sticky Toffee Pudding cookie with extra depth from the essence of Guinness Draught.
Alongside this flavor-packed, festive cookie trio, La Crumb suggests fans savor The Barrel Roll, Peanut Butter Guinness Time, and Midnight Snack with a pint of Guinness for a next-level experience.
