Brand partners with All About Beer Magazine to Pair Ten Popular Ice Cream Flavors with a Variety of Cold Brews
June 13, 2016 // Franchising.com // CANTON, Mass. – In celebration of Father’s Day on Sunday, June 19, and the brand’s festive The Cold One Cake, a unique ice cream cake shaped like a mug that honors dad in a frosty and flavorful way, Baskin-Robbins has partnered with All About Beer Magazine, America’s leading beer publication, to identify ten popular ice cream flavors to pair with a range of cold brews.
“At first glance, you may not think of pairing beer and ice cream together, but once people have a chance to taste these combinations, they will see how well the different flavors complement one another,” said John Holl, editor of All About Beer Magazine. “Beer has diverse flavors thanks to its main ingredients – water, malt, hops, and yeast. Then, when brewers add culinary ingredients like coffee, fresh fruit, spices and more, the pairing options with ice cream become truly endless. Working with a variety of flavors, we looked to match complementary flavors and intensity, and coax out some nuances from both the beer and the ice cream.”
Ice cream and beer pairings recommended by John Holl of All About Beer Magazine, in collaboration with the Baskin-Robbins Culinary Team, include:
“Whether you enjoy a pint of beer, a pint of ice cream or both, Father’s Day is all about spending time with family and friends and showing dad how much he is appreciated, which is why we’re excited to offer guests our fun and frosty The Cold One Cake, which can be fully customized for dad,” said Jeff Miller, Executive Chef and Vice President of Product Innovation at Dunkin’ Brands. “This year, the return of The Cold One Cake inspired us to think about how dads could enjoy ice cream in a fun and unique way – by pairing it with a cold brew. All the ice cream flavors in our list of pairings can be featured in The Cold One Cake as well, which gives our guests the opportunity to celebrate dad in a very special way this year.”
In addition to offering guests The Cold One Cake this Father’s Day, Baskin-Robbins is also offering the new OREO® Triple Chocolate Cake. This delectable cake features a chocolate, OREO® cookie-infused frosting topped with a mouthwatering waterfall of dark chocolate, a border of fudge and alternating goodness of OREO® cookies, frosting dollops and chocolate triangles. Both cakes can be customized to feature dad’s favorite ice cream and cake flavor combination and are available for pre-order in-store or through Baskin-Robbins’ online cake ordering website.
