Sunriver Brewing Company released their award-winning Cocoa Cow Chocolate Milk Stout in 16-ounce cans on September 4. This was the first year-round release for the brewery in the 16-ounce can format.
Cocoa Cow has won numerous People’s Choice awards over the last few years, including Bend Brewfest, KLCC Brewfest and McKenzie Brewfest. It has also received a bronze medal at the North American Beer Awards in 2017 and a gold medal at the same competition in 2018.
“Customer demand has been the driving force behind this beer — the response has been unbelievably positive since the first time we brewed it,” says Brett Thomas, director of Brewing Operations. “We couldn’t be happier to give the people what they want and in the package they want it in.”
16-ounce cans will be available throughout Sunriver Brewing Company’s distribution network starting in early September. All three Sunriver Brewing Company pubs will be holding Release the Cows! events in September. The events will feature $2 cans of Cocoa Cow, which makes for $8 four packs and $48 cases. This is half the price of suggested retail going forward. These events will include Moo Offs, where you can compete by voicing your best cow call and have it voted on to win a $250 Sunriver Brewing Company gift card.
Release the Cows! will be held from 4-6pm on September 5 at Galveston Pub in Bend.
