Dutch Girl Donuts has been a Detroit favorite for decades.
But would you drink a beer that tastes like one of its chocolate-glazed doughnuts?
Griffin Claw Brewing Company is betting you will.
The brewery is teaming up with Dutch Girl Donuts and Off the Wagon, a wine, beer, and spirits maker in Clawson, to create a rich, decadent stout, paired with a bold infusion of coffee.
The limited-edition brew, named Dutch Wagon, is a “delightful blend of freshly brewed coffee, creamy cocoa, and that unmistakable donut shop flavor in every sip,” according to a news release.
The beer is sold in four packs of 16-ounce cans at Off the Wagon, located at 1500 N. Crooks Rd., and is available while supplies last.
After closing for several months, Dutch Girl Donuts on Woodward Avenue reopened under new ownership, and Metro Times foodie Tom Perkins reports that its doughnuts taste “like the OG Dutch Girl that I remember.”
This is the second collaboration between Griffin Claw Brewing Company and Off the Wagon, following the debut of their fruited kettle sour, Shaggin’ Wagon.
