DuClaw Brewing Co. and 104-year-old Baltimore-based Wockenfuss Candies have collaborated on a Carmallow beer, slated to release in late March, just in time for Easter.
PastryArchy Carmallow is an imperial stout made with caramel and marshmallows, mimicking the flavor profile of the famous Carmallow candy made by Wockenfuss. One hundred pounds each of marshmallows and caramel went into the beer, which is 8.5% ABV with notes of roastiness, toffee and honey.
“Our team is really excited about this partnership,” said Greg Butler, candy manufacturing manager at Wockenfuss. “There are a lot of similarities between candy-making and brewing, and we learned that through this process. It’ll be fun to taste the final result.”
The PastryArchy Carmallow will hit taps and shelves in 19 states, Washington DC, France and Canada in time for Easter.
