Yards Brewing and Lokal Artisan Foods Create New French Toast Bites Ale
Yards Brewing Company and Lokal Artisan Foods have joined forces to collaborate on the release of the new French Toast Bites Ale – a smooth and malty collab inspired by the famous French Toast Bites sold at Cherry Street Pier, Spruce Street Harbor Park, Made in America, St. Joe’s University, Better Box, Philadelphia Night Market and Bronx Night Market.
The new beer captures the delicious flavors of sugar and spice and everything nice – with comforting notes of maple syrup, rich brown sugar, spicy cinnamon and delicate vanilla. The beer will be available in 16 ounce cans (four-pack), plus in kegs and sixtels.
French Toast Bites Ale is a collaboration brew that brings together two of Philadelphia’s most well-known and celebrated food and beer companies. The collaboration brew is a result of months of development work between Charisse and the brewing team at Yards. The end result is an “anytime” amber-colored ale that clocks in at 5.5% ABV. The cinnamon, sugar and vanilla infused beer is perfect for anytime – from breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert and all points in between. Yards wanted to create an entirely new beer that was completely inspired by and that celebrates the deliciousness of Philly’s famous French Toast Bites.
“I am excited and thrilled to collaborate with Yards Brewing Company on the new French Toast Bites Ale,” said McGill. “Last year, during my first baby-steps into the beer business, I was overwhelmed at the amazing interest and fast response to my first beer. I was yielding calls, emails and DM’s from people all over Pennsylvania and the country. It was such an amazing process that came during one of the worst years in all of our lives. My pivot journey had me looking onwards and upwards each and every day – and that journey led me to connect with the amazing folks at Yards Brewing Company. Yards wanted to support another Philly business. I am so thankful to Trevor, Tom and the entire Yards team as French Toast Bites Ale heads across the state and into New Jersey and Delaware. I am so proud that we will be positioned to have not one, not two, but three French Toast Bites products on grocery shelves going forward – with the beer, the spice and soon the brand-new coffee with Bean2Bean. I am also so thankful for goPuff for continuing to partner with me and support my business – as they pick up a big order of the new beer with Yards.”
Yards will produce the beer year-round out of its brewery at 500 Spring Garden Street. Look for it at your local Acme and Total Wine, bottle shops, bars and restaurants throughout Philadelphia, Eastern Pennsylvania, South Jersey and Delaware, as well as at Yards Brewing Company.
On Thursday, May 20th enjoy free French Toast Bites from 5:00pm to 7:00pm with a four pack or draft purchase.
