Guinness Baltimore Brings Back Candy Collab with Goetze’s Caramel Cream Ale
Second annual collaboration brings back the crowd-favorite vanilla cream ale, available exclusively at the Halethorpe brewery.
In celebration of National Candy Month, two iconic Baltimore brands, Goetze’s Candy Company and Guinness Open Gate Brewery Baltimore, are reuniting to bring back a fan favorite collaboration. Following its popular debut last summer, the Caramel Creams® Ale is making its return to the taproom this June at Guinness Open Gate Brewery Baltimore.
Originally created as a limited-edition brew in 2024, the 4.5% ABV cream ale blends its smooth richness with the nostalgic flavor of Goetze’s signature vanilla cream. Crafted in the 10-barrel innovation brewery onsite, the classic cream ale base was brewed with vanilla, inspired by the iconic flavor of Goetze’s Caramel Creams®. The result is a toasty, slightly sweet ale that’s both refreshing and indulgent, perfect for summer sipping.
“We’re thrilled to bring Caramel Creams® Ale back for a second year, especially as we celebrate National Candy Month and the 130th anniversary of Goetze’s Candy Company,” said Mitchell Goetze, CEO of Goetze’s Candy Co., Inc. “This collaboration with Guinness is a true hometown favorite. It’s a toast to Baltimore, to tradition, and to everyone who loves candy and locally-brewed beer.”
Caramel Creams® Ale will be available exclusively at the Guinness Open Gate Brewery Baltimore in Halethorpe, Maryland, on draught and for purchase in 4-packs to-go, for a limited time only while supplies last.
Now in its 130th year, Goetze’s Candy Company, Inc. continues to maintain the longstanding family tradition with both new and original flavors. Caramel Creams® and Cow Tales® are made with real milk and a wheat-based recipe that delivers a delicious, chewy texture with a cream center. The wheat-based formula delivers a uniquely chewy, not sticky, caramel flavor. Nut-free and trans-fat free, Caramel Creams® and Cow Tales® are a perfect school snack and are available in a variety of flavors year-round, including Caramel, Strawberry Smoothie, Caramel Brownie, Caramel Apple and the newest flavor, Honey Bun.
