Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Stout

With a list of insanely sought-after breweries like Other Half, Grimm, and Interboro, why the hell are leagues of New York craft fans taking hour-long subway rides out of the city to the sleepy town of Oceanside?

Easy answer: Barrier Brewing. 

Not only have these collaboration kings teamed up with the most hyped NY breweries, but their adored beers also led to a partnership with world-famous Mikkeller. Once craft-seekers heard their personal favorite breweries were linking up with Barrier, they suddenly had a reason to make the trek.

And once they get a taste, beers like Barrier’s 10.1% ABV Morticia Russian Imperial Stout keep them coming back for more. Untappd users claim its baker’s chocolate and espresso flavors surpass legends like Old Rasputin and Yeti. 

If that weren’t enough, the brewery took this taproom favorite and transformed it with the flavors of MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM!

Morticia: Mint Chocolate Chip Stout is crafted with chopped grasshopper cookies, crumbled Oreos, and mint chocolate in what the brewers describe as “satanic amounts.” Sounds devilishly tasty already, right? Then they added lactose until it’s as creamy as actual melted ice cream. 

Today’s brew is a shining example of Barrier’s brewing prowess, and every Dark Beer lover needs to try it. Shoot, every ice cream fan needs a taste! Lucky for Tavour members, you don’t even have to schlep out to Rockaway Beach to get it.
