Move over Fudgie the Beer, Cookie Puss is Carvel’s new brew

Cheers to Cookie Puss.

The iconic Carvel ice cream cake — made famous by the Beastie Boys song — and its Irish cousin, Cookie O’Puss, are getting their own beers to celebrate both St. Patrick’s Day and the soft-serve institution’s 85th birthday.

And we think Tom Carvel would approve.

The result is Cookie Puss Milkshake IPA and Cookie O’Puss Pastry Stout, which are both inspired by the quirky space alien cake that hails from “Planet Birthday.”

It’s the latest collaboration between Carvel and Westchester-based Captain Lawrence Brewing, which created the limited-edition Fudgie the Beer last year.

The Cookie Puss Milkshake IPA is brewed with vanilla ice cream and has a “full-body taste and texture,” while the Cookie O’Puss Pastry Stout is made with Carvel’s addictive chocolate crunchies and “carries heavier notes of cacao and roasted undertones.”

The newest brews will hit shelves Tuesday.

“As two born-and-bred New York brands, we couldn’t think of anything more important than coming together to launch something special during such a significant year for us,” says Scott Colwell, president of Carvel. “2019 marks Carvel’s 85th birthday, and as we look towards the future, we want to keep giving our loyal fans the opportunity to enjoy the tried-and-true Carvel treats they love, but with a new twist.”

Cookie O’Puss Pastry Stout cans will be available wherever Captain Lawrence is sold, but the Cookie Puss Milkshake IPA will only be available in New York state.
