R&D Brewing Returns with a Refined Raspberry Milk Stout for the Season

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Raleigh, NC — January 8, 2026 — R&D Brewing is excited to announce the return of its seasonal Raspberry Milk Stout, now with thoughtful refinements that enhance drinkability while preserving the rich character fans loved last year.

This year's batch builds on the foundation of roasted malts, cocoa, lactose, and flaked oats, creating a plush, full-bodied stout with enticing notes of dark chocolate and espresso. A hint of raspberry purée brings a subtle pop of tart, jammy fruit that brightens the richness and adds a layer of sophistication to the experience.

"Each year, we take the opportunity to revisit our seasonal offerings with intentional tweaks," said Mark Theisen, Director of Brewery Operations. "Our Raspberry Milk Stout is familiar yet refined, delivering the indulgent, comforting flavors fans expect, with small improvements that make it even more enjoyable."

Available for a limited time, this seasonal release exemplifies R&D Brewing's commitment to reimagining classic styles, combining craftsmanship, creativity, and quality ingredients to deliver something distinctive with every release.
