2 Cape May, NJ staples join forces to create a chocolatey brew

Let's be honest, there’s nothing better than a local New Jersey beer. Now imagine a Garden State beer that combines alcohol with delicious chocolate fudge.

Yes, please!

Two Cape May gems, Cape May Brewing Company and The Original Fudge Kitchen, have done just that.

As a celebration of their 10th anniversary, Cape May Brewing has been releasing their “On the Way to Cape May” series. This was a line of 10 beers and other alcoholic beverages that debuted over the summer, they concluded the series this week.

Previously they’ve put out a coffee stout, a blueberry cobbler pie sour ale, and a sticky bun flavored imperial brown ale with maple and cinnamon, to name a few.

Can they celebrate their anniversary every year? These all sound amazing.

That being said, Cape May Brewing isn’t alone in reaching a milestone. The Original Fudge Kitchen is celebrating their 50th anniversary this year, which is what lead to the collaboration that created the "On the Way to Cape May No. 010: Chocolate Fudge Stout."

The brew is made with fudge from The Original Fudge Kitchen and is said to “create a depth of flavor with strong chocolate notes and light hints of toasted oak and vanilla for a robust drinking experience.”

The Chocolate Fudge Stout was released Friday at noon and is also available via presale here.

It boasts a 9.0% ABV so be sure to consume responsibly.
