In honor of the recently concluded Philly Beer Week, beloved Old City ice cream parlor Franklin Fountain teamed up with two local breweries to craft deliciously beer-infused ice cream flavors.

Franklin Fountain used Triumph Brewing Company’s Imperial Chocolate Stout to make a Dark Chocolate Stout Ice Cream, and used Victory Brewing Company’s Summer Love Ale to create a Strawberry Summer Love Ice Cream and Strawberry Summer Love Sorbet, both organic.

Opened in 2004, this ice cream shop hearkens back to the soda fountains of yore in both appearance and approach. That means each scoop of carefully churned and frozen ice cream will be lovingly spooned onto cone or into bowl for your enjoyment; just keep in mind the treat’s got alcohol content before you down several servings.

The three ice cream flavors are only available until supplies last; Franklin Fountain won’t be producing more. So head to Old City this weekend for the perfect sticky-fingers summer excursion.
