    Notes:
    When we go to trade shows to introduce our ice cream in new cities, our stand is invariably located next to a beer booth. It's not easy to get someone who is already drinking beer to then taste ice cream. So, using a dark beer we came up with a brew-compatible frozen dessert - beer sorbet. Now those guys can drink and eat their beer at the same time.
