YORK, Pa. — Convenience-store chain Rutter’s is launching its own Chocolate Milk Stout in November.
The release marks Rutter’s first private branded beer product, which was made in collaboration with Lancaster Brewing Co., Lancaster, Pa.
“Lancaster Brewing Co. is a first-class organization that has a lot of ambition and very talented brewers, which is why we looked to partner with them on this product,” said Sean Pfeiff, Rutter’s senior category manager.
