This popular Georgia-made beer tastes like summer. Here’s where to find it in Columbus.
Popular LaGrange craft brewery Wild Leap Brew Co. has re-released an ice cream-inspired beer that might take you back to the days of your childhood.
The Truck Chaser Creamsicle Double IPA began returning to shelves near the end of January, the company said.
The beer, first brewed in 2019, is made with a flavor combination of ripe oranges, vanilla bean and milk sugar. It is one of Wild Leap’s most requested to return beers of all time, according to the company.
The beer has received a 4.1 out of 5 rating calculated from 2,270 reviews on Untappd, a geosocial networking service and app where users can discuss and review beers.
“We’ve had so much fun creating this beer and fine-tuning the blend of hops and creamy milkshake flavor,” Wild Leap co-founder Anthony Rodriguez said in a statement. “We’re excited it’s back and we can’t wait to share what we’ve got in store for 2020.”
The beer can be found in the Wild Leap tasting room as well as stores, bars and restaurants throughout Georgia. According to the brewery’s beverage finder map, you can buy or order the beer at these locations in Columbus:
