Perry’s Ice Cream x Southern Tier Brewing Company Collab

The end result…a playful craft ale that tastes just like ice cream and makes celebrating with friends and family that much more fun. 

Perry’s Ice Cream, known for its variety of fun flavors, is proud to partner with its regional neighbor, Southern Tier Brewing Company, in this delicious brew.  “What a great way for two popular regional brands to collaborate and bring a one-of-a-kind flavor to market.” adds Nichole Buryta, Senior Brand Manager for Perry’s Ice Cream.  “When we tried the samples Southern Tier created, we were blown away by how much the beer tasted like a scoop of Perry’s Vanilla. Perfect for summer!” added Buryta.
