Today: McFate releases 2017 Candy Bar Milk Stout in cans

Candy Bar Milk Stout, the award-winning seasonal from McFate Brewing in Scottsdale, will be released at 11 a.m. today at the brewery’s south Scottsdale location.

The popular brew – a milk stout conditioned with honey-roasted peanuts, cacao nibs, whole vanilla beans, and sea salt – won a silver medal at the prestigious Great American Beer Festival in 2013 just two months after its debut.

This year, Candy Bar Milk Stout is available in cans for the first time. The 16-ounce cans will be sold in four-packs for $18.

There’s a limit of one case (six four-packs) of cans per person. There will be no restrictions on growler fills until McFate is down to the last few barrels.

Candy Bar Milk Stout also is on tap at McFate’s Tap + Barrel for pints or growler fills, but that location’s license doesn’t allow it to sell cans.
