Beeramisu
Imagine this: Your wanderlust heart is aching with the emptiness of ending a passionate, lustful love affair. You are craving something to ease the pain. Perhaps, something rich, fluffy, and a bit boozy. The traditional Tiramisu dessert crosses your mind. After all, ‘Tiramisù’ does mean ‘Cheer me up’. But, you need something a hell-of-a-lot stronger. Introduce – the Beeramisu. It’ll transport you away from heartbreak to a small coastal-front boutique café on the shores of Venice, Italy. With each bite, you forget all about that loser. And, by the last bite, you’ve found yourself again. Okay, perhaps, that’s a ridiculous story. However, we’re excited to bring you this craft beer-infused Beeramisu. It’s so delicious and leaves you wanting more. Enjoy!
