Just in time for Father's Day, Baskin-Robbins is releasing a beer-themed ice cream cake and teaching you which beer goes best with which flavor.

I've never really thought too much about beer and ice cream combinations--although I have put together a list of the best local craft beer and Girl Scout cookie combinations a few times in the past, which you can find here--but the folks at Baskin-Robbins have teamed up with All About Beer magazine to give you what they consider to be the optimal pairings of their ice cream flavors and beer.

Not only that, but they're releasing "The Cold One," a beer-themed cake for Father's Day.

  1. Mint Chocolate Chip with Coffee Porter or Stout
    The ale already has some cocoa and java flavors and it mixes nicely with the roast of the chocolate chips and the herbal, cool mint flavor of the ice cream.

  2. Peanut Butter N' Chocolate with Doppelbock
    Nutty and creamy, with an assertive chocolate base, the ice cream brings out the best in this malt-forward dark brown lager.

Find out more here at the official Baskin-Robbins site and, of course, try them out and see if they work as well as they're supposed to.
