    Looks to me like New Belgium is coming out with a Ben & Jerry's beer, not Ben & Jerry's coming out with a beer.

    I think they're partnering is what it said.

    B&J's ice cream is overrated, but I do appreciate that I can get it in pints. They are one of the only brands that sell pints in the stores around here.

    Don't know why more ice cream doesnt come in single servings.

    They have the little mini things as well that represent a single I think.

    Ben & Jerry's need to add alcohol to their ice cream.

    Agreed. Or at least pints.

    I figured that's what you were going for, but they really do make little baby single servings.

    Very odd story about the word "pint."

    We went up to Handel's in Alliance to get pints of ice cream for the kids and drove up to the drive through window to pick up the ice cream. There was a guy who was going to hand us our order (he was probably in his mid to late 30's) who asks "did you order the pint of coconut cream pie?" Normally, not an odd comment but he pronounced it "p-in-t" like the word "in" not like "p-eye-nt" how it's supposed to be pronounced. The girl working there with him (probably less than 18 years old) says "what did you just say?" to her coworker and he repeats "p-in-t." She starts laughing at him.

    I'm lmao because I'm thinking "dude, you've got to be in your 30's and this is the first time you've ever heard it pronounced "p-eye-nt?"

    Has anyone actually ever tried one of these? Does not sound very good.

    Red Robin makes them. I think I had a Blue Moon one once.

    No. You need to quit being such a drunk.

    Funny I'm commenting about you being a drunk while I'm drinking IPAs at 11AM.

    Right over? He drove home at 10:00, already drunk.

    OK... flavored beer. I was picturing a Coors Light float, which didn't sound too great.

    I figured it was just a matter of time before Ben & Jerry came out.......
