If there’s one thing ice cream and beer have in common, it’s that they are both best enjoyed in pints.

We can raise a glass (or a cone) and cheers to that fact — and Salt & Straw’s new, first-of-its-kind “Brewers Series Menu,” debuting in stores Friday, May 31. You’ll find flavor collaborations with microbreweries near and far, including a barrel-aged chocolate stout from Breakside Brewery.

    Salt & Straw will also participate in events throughout Portland Beer Week, which runs Friday, June 14-Sunday, June 23. Stay tuned for more details.
