This Melbourne Brewery Is Scooping Beer-Infused Ice Cream This Weekend

Of all the ways to cool down on a scorching summer's day, beer and ice cream are up there with the best. So just imagine what sort of magic happens when their frosty powers combine.

To help keep Melburnians nice and cool this long weekend, Preston brewery Tallboy and Moose and North Fitzroy's Billy Van Creamy have invented a special range of treats, teaming beer and ice cream in all sorts of imaginative ways.

And they'll be showing off the best of these hybrid creations at the Tallboy and Moose brewpub all weekend. Headlining the beer-infused ice cream options is the Dark Side of the Moose — a Malteaser-y concoction of Russian imperial stout and cream — and the light, bright King Tang — a sorbet made on the brewery's kiwi fruit sour.

Folks who prefer their beer in liquid form can opt instead for a refreshing, nostalgia-inducing spider. There's the Vanilla Moose Vader, featuring vanilla bean ice cream in a pint of Tallboy's Darkside RIS, and the Kiwi Van Gift, teaming that King Tang sorbet with the Late Gift hoppy lager.

They're all limited edition treats that'll only be on offer this weekend. Get down to the brewery early to nab yourself a prime spot in the front beer garden.

It's all happening at Tallboy and Moose, 270 Raglan Street, Preston, until Sunday, January 28.
