  • New Dole Whip-Flavored Beer Released by Florida Brewery Sells Out Immediately

    New Dole Whip-Flavored Beer Released by Florida Brewery Sells Out Immediately

    A Florida brewery has produced a Dole Whip flavored beer that tastes just like the popular tastey Disney Parks treat.

    First Magnitude Brewing, a craft brewery in Gainesville, Fla., has recently debuted a beer inspired by — and allegedly tasting like — the popular Dole Whip treats served at Disney parks, the Dole Plantation in Hawaii and select other locations.

    Called the Dole Whip Sour, the drink supposedly tastes like the pineapple soft serve and consists of the “actual Dole Whip mix,” pineapple puree and milk sugar. The company took to the internet to announce the new boozy beverage as you can see in the post below:

    On their Instagram, the brewery describes Dole Whip Sour as “creamy, dreamy sour that isn’t too sweet or tart, it’s just the right balance and is packed with pineapple goodness.” Each can weighs in at six percent ABV and better yet, the Gainesville location has a convenient drive-thru brewery so locals can pick up their cans with limited person-to-person contact.

    Unfortunately, the brewery seemed to have run out of the beer in just three days due to intense interest.

    The series “The Owl House” follows Luz Noceda on her adventures to a magical world as she becomes a witch.

    After a few episodes aired, the showed debuted in late 2020, series creator Dana Terrace took to Twitter to confirm that Luz is bisexual as you can see in the tweet below:

    Terrace identifies as bisexual. She wanted to write about a bisexual character, so she really pushed Disney to allow the character.
