A taste of Guinness ice cream

Pub ice cream!

Guinness isn’t just enjoyed in a pint: the Irish like to vary the pleasures of Guinness by making it available as an ice cream, or by slipping a few scoops of vanilla ice cream right into the pint! Freshness guaranteed, with the added bonus of the caramelized flavors of the famous beer!

And while it may come as a surprise, Guinness ice cream has some great flavors. A delicate balance between sweetness and bitterness!

You won’t find this ice cream in every pub, but many establishments, as well as local ice cream shops, offer it. Tasty, it’s aimed at adults only (due to the presence of alcohol, albeit slight). This ice cream is made with Guinness and vanilla ice cream: an explosive contrast that deserves to be tasted!
