“It’s really fun to see new favorites move to a wider
audience. This is another example of how we continue to explore new ingredients
and flavors. The spirit of innovation that set us on this path is still a huge
part of who we are and we will continue to look for ways to showcase that
innovation across our distribution area,” Bell said.

“Java Stout will always have a special place in our
portfolio and isn’t being permanently retired. This year, we are changing
things up a bit. Arabicadabra is a different take on a coffee stout and very
similar to a local favorite that was released at our pub and at some events.
It’s time to share it with an even larger audience,” she added.

Arabicadabra is brewed with a cold coffee extract made at the
brewery using a combination of fair trade, organic Nicaraguan coffee beans and
Sumatra coffee beans. Lactose is also used for creaminess (those with dairy
allergies or sensitivities should take note). It was inspired by Milchkaffe,
another specialty Bell’s beer. That sweet, milk stout, was only available on
draught and debuted in 2015.
