Collaborates with Evil Twin Brewing for a DeCicco’s exclusive
Armonk, NY – (July 16, 2013) – The burgers have been grilled, the fire is dying down, and the s’mores fixings are ready to go. It’s the perfect time to pour DeCicco’s Imperial Biscotti Break, an Imperial Stout crafted and brewed by Evil Twin Brewing exclusively for DeCicco Family Markets. The beer will be available throughout the summer.

Flavored with roasted Italian hazelnuts and a hint of chili pepper, Imperial Biscotti Break is pitch black in color with notes of dark chocolate, coffee, hazelnut, and vanilla with warm finish from the chili pepper. “While this beer is full-bodied, it may seem out of season for summer, but actually is ideal for the end of the day when the sun has set and an evening chill has set in,” says Chris DeCicco, co-owner of DeCicco’s.

“We have always been big fans of Evil Twin Brewing. We met Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø at a ‘Meet the Brewer Night’ beer event last year in our Brewster store,” explains co-owner Joe DeCicco Jr. “Jeppe saw what we were trying to accomplish in our stores – pairing great quality food with craft beer. He offered to put a spin on one of his best selling creations – Imperial Biscotti Break, an Italian-inspired beer that went along with our Markets theme. We met one afternoon in Brooklyn at Jeppe’s Craft Beer Bar, Tørst, and threw around different ideas. We settled on substituting roasted hazelnuts for the almonds in his original Imperial Biscotti Break and adding a touch chili pepper. The result is amazing.”
DeCicco’s invites its beer customers to fill a growler or pick up a few bottles of this uniquely satisfying summer beer at DeCicco’s new Armonk store, as well as their other 10 locations.
DeCicco’s new Armonk store is located at 17 Maple Avenue, Armonk Square, in downtown Armonk. Its Brewster store, located near Exit 19 off Route 84 at 50 Independent Way, and downtown Ardsley store at 21 Center St., offer DeCicco’s Imperial Biscotti Break on tap. www.deciccos.com.
