Fudgie The Beer Coming Back For Limited Time

ELMSFORD, NY — Have you run out of your supply of Fudgie the Beer? Yes, we said beer not whale. Captain Lawrence Brewery in Elmsford is re-releasing the limited edition stout in honor of National Ice Cream Day, which is Sunday, July 15.

On that day, at 9 a.m. through Aug. 5, the beer, which is a collaboration between the brewery and the ice cream maker Carvel, can be ordered online at fudgiethebeer.com. It will be available for pickup Friday, August 10, according to the brewery’s website, during Beer Hall hour from Aug. 10 to Aug. 19.

The cost for the beer is $18 per four-pack.

People who pre-order the beer must pick up their order in person at the brewery with a valid form of ID and an email receipt.

The beer style is a stout, with 6 percent alcohol by volume.

It would pair well with roasted or smoked foods as well as chocolate or espresso desserts, the brewery said.

Carvel’s first store was in Hartsdale in Westchester County.

Fudgie the Whale — the iconic ice cream cake — was introduced in 1977 when Carvel wanted to create a fish-shaped ice cream cake for Father's Day.

Captain Lawrence Brewing Company is located at 444 Saw Mill River Rd. in Elmsford.
