Southern Tier Brewing Company has teamed up with Perry’s Ice Cream once again for a limited-edition, dessert-inspired brew that is sure to satisfy both beer and ice cream lovers alike. The Cherry Pie Imperial Ale is the latest creation in this ongoing collaboration, blending the flavors of tart cherries, sweet vanilla, and flaky biscuit notes into a unique, flavorful beer.
A Sweet Collaboration: Cherry Pie Imperial Ale
This marks the third consecutive year of collaboration between Southern Tier Brewing and Perry’s Ice Cream. After successful past brews inspired by Perry’s Vanilla Scoop and Orange Twist ice cream flavors, the two brands have evolved their partnership to feature the irresistible taste of cherry pie. The Cherry Pie Imperial Ale is crafted to capture the essence of Perry’s new Cherry Pie Ice Cream, which includes swirls of cherries and crunchy graham crackers, creating a perfect fusion of dessert and beer.
“We’re thrilled to collaborate with Perry’s Ice Cream for the third year in a row,” said Brandon Hank, Brand Manager at Southern Tier Brewing Company. “We began with Perry’s signature Vanilla Scoop, and, due to fan excitement, came back last year with Orange Twist. Now, we’re excited for our evolution to Cherry Pie; it perfectly matches the passion Southern Tier Brewing Company and Perry’s both have for innovation and fun.”
