As we recently mentioned, Milwaukee’s craft beer scene is experiencing a period of immense growth, change, and evolution that is resulting in some exciting and innovative new brews. In the wake of two new breweries opening and more on the way, Pabst Milwaukee Brewery & Taproom is keeping things exciting and celebrating the arrival of another Wisconsin State Fair with a brand new beer that’s a nod to a Fair favorite.

On August 2, the taproom will host a launch party from 4-8 p.m. for its Strawberry Cream Puff Tart Beer. The 4.8 ABV sour is said to be “a playful twist on the classic cream puff.” Not only was the beer accented with the addition of natural strawberries, actual cream puffs were added during the brewing process. According to a press release, this beer will only be available at the Wisconsin State Fair and at the Pabst taproom on the corner of Juneau and 11th street.
