Unbeknownst to me until I spotted it on the shelf at Kroger, local brewery Braxton has teamed up with Graeter's for a second ice cream inspired beer - Braxton/Graeter's Blueberry Pie Brown Ale.



Braxton Brewing Company and Graeter's Ice Cream have teamed up to create another special beer - this time for a good cause.

Braxton and its wholesale partners have pledged to donate $10,000 to The Cure Starts Now, which raises money for cancer research.

The ale is inspired by Elena's Blueberry Pie ice cream, a flavor named for 6-year-old Elena Desserich, who lost her battle with cancer in 2007. Now Graeter's offers the flavor once a year to raise money for The Cure Starts Now.
Poured a deep copper-brown into a Shaker glass with a medium size golden-white head. Great big scent of blueberry you can smell from 2' away! Also smells of graham cracker and a little bit malt. Sweet. Tastes just like blueberry pie! Has a very slight bitterness on the finish that does seem a little out of place but, that's picking nits since it's barely there. Body is medium and is a bit fizzy. Has a very subtle 7% ABV. Like the last Graeter's collab, this one is also quite tasty!
