With the present offering little more than stress and visions of doom, it makes sense that so many of us would retreat into nostalgia in 2020. That’s why it felt like such a relief when we found out that Dunkaroos would be coming back, providing us with a sweet way to time travel to the '90s for a little bit.
Because food and beer culture is what it is, the return of Dunkaroos has been quickly and inevitably followed by the announcement of a Dunkaroos-themed beer, the not-so-creatively named Dunkabroos.

Dunkabroos 8% – Ale brewed with Cookies, Vanilla Cream, Lactose, and Sprinkles. We actually did it! This beer is nostalgia in a can. It wasn’t easy tracking down all these tasty treats for “research” but we were able to find a few. The flavors have been replicated perfectly. It’s a sweet, cookie filled brew that even has that frosting finish (like when you save all the cream for the last cookie – yall know what we’re talking about)! Dunkabroos goes on sale today. It is a taproom only release. 4packs are $20. Four 4pack limit per person. We open at noon. Hope yall have as much fun drinking this as we did brewing it. Cheers! #dunkabroos #90s #takemeback

Described as “nostalgia in a can” by Fort Worth, Texas-based Martin house Brewing, Dunkabroos is an ale brewed with all of the sweet ingredients you’d want to find in a beer worthy of its namesake. Specifically, the can (which faithfully evokes the Dunkaroos aesthetic) mentions cookies, vanilla cream, and sprinkles, to create a “sweet, cookie filled brew that even has that frosting finish” that weighs in at a walloping 8% alcohol by volume, which is how you know that this is definitely for grown-ups.
Because life remains cruel and unfair, Dunkabroos was a limited-run offering from Martin House that was only sold at their Texas taproom. A follow-up Instagram post confirms that the special sweet beer has already sold out. The good news is that they now know how badly people want this stuff, and “will make a whole lot more next time.”

Hey y’all we have sold out of the Dunkabroos. We def didn’t expect it to be as crazy as it was. Thank you all for supporting us and drinking these crazy beers. We’re still going through all the comments and messages. We will make much more next time. Please follow us on instagram (@martinhousebrewing) to keep up with future beer launches, as there’s something new every single week. Cheers! #dunkabroos

The good news is that you can still get your hands on normal Dunkaroos, and possibly a Dunkaroos cereal as well. So for now, hang tight and pair your regular ale with a side of Dunkaroos to approximate the experience. It could always be worse.
