World Cup fans can enjoy a cool and creamy alternative to the traditional beer tipple this summer thanks to local ice cream maker Yummy Yorkshire.
The ice cream company based near Denby Dale has jumped on the World Cup fever bandwagon and created a one-off beer flavoured ice cream to celebrate the tournament.
The ‘World Cup Beer’ ice cream has been made using a Farmers beer of the same name produced by Peak District based Bradfield Brewery. The beer is light pale and hoppy with a kick of fruit to give it a refreshing aftertaste, which combines perfectly with milk and cream according to Yummy Yorkshire. The resulting ice cream has a bittersweet flavour with a ‘subtle’ hoppy aftertaste of the World Cup Beer.
Although the ice cream is made using 4.2% beer, the cooking process means it contains hardly any alcohol.
The flavour has gone on sale at Yummy Yorkshire’s Denby Dale ice cream parlour and is available to buy exclusively on the cone.
Co-owner of Yummy Yorkshire Louise Holmes says: “We knew we wanted to create a distinctive flavour for the World Cup but didn’t want to go down the obvious route of country-related flavours. Beer goes hand in hand with watching football so we felt it was a great, sweet alternative to the traditional tipple.
Yummy Yorkshire Ice Cream is known for its innovative flavours, recently winning a string of awards for its Lou’s Liquorice flavour. Since the business was launched in April 2007, over 50 different recipes of traditional, seasonal and contemporary ice cream have been developed using the best, locally sourced ingredients and milk and cream from the farm’s own herd of Holstein cows.
The Yummy Yorkshire ice cream parlour is located on the A629 between High Flatts and Ingbirchworth. For further information and directions visit www.yorkshiremilk.co.uk.
