Partners With Guinness Open Gate Brewery on Caramel Creams® Ale7/24/2024 Goetze’s Candy Company, Inc., a manufacturer of caramel products produced in Baltimore, MD for nearly 130 years, announces a partnership with the Guinness Open Gate Brewery. The confectioners of Goetze’s and the brewers of Guinness came together to create a 4.5 percent ABV cream ale brewed with the same vanilla in the iconic Goetze’s signature recipe, resulting in a toasty, slightly sweet and delicious beer. The Caramel Creams® ale will be released at the Beer From Here Festival hosted by Guinness Open Gate Brewery and the Brewers Association of Maryland (BAM) on Saturday, August 3. The beer will be sold at the brewery while supplies last. “We are beyond excited to partner with Guinness Open Gate Brewery on the Caramel Creams® Ale. We are long-time fans of the brand and their unique Guinness Stout, brewed for over 265 years, partnering with our almost 130 year old Baltimore Caramel Creams® treats. We have created a creamy ale reminiscent of our beloved Caramel Creams® combining the history of two iconic brands.” said Mitchell Goetze, CEO of Goetze's Candy Co., Inc. “We look forward to sharing this special recipe with Caramel Creams® lovers, Guinness lovers and Baltimoreans alike, and invite all to sláinte to this iconic hometown collaboration.” Now in its 129th year in business, Goetze’s Candy Company, Inc. continues to maintain the longstanding family tradition with both new and original flavors, winning over the taste buds of generations, from great-grandparents to great-grandchildren. Caramel Creams® and Cow Tales® are made with real milk and a wheat-based recipe that delivers a delicious, chewy texture with a cream center. The wheat-based formula delivers a uniquely chewy, not sticky, caramel flavor. Nut-free and trans-fat free, Caramel Creams® and Cow Tales® are a perfect school snack and are available in a variety of flavors year-round, including Caramel, Strawberry Smoothie, Caramel Brownie, Caramel Apple and the newest flavor, Honey Bun.

We are pleased to announce special celebrations in honor of Duke’s 10th birthday on National Cow Day on Tuesday, July 9th. Introduced in 2014, Duke the Cow has served as the Cow Tales® mascot for a decade, bringing joy with his cartoon features, goofy smile and adoration of the nostalgic treat. "We are excited to celebrate National Cow Day with our beloved customers, near and far. This year we are commemorating the day with Duke’s, our Cow Tales® mascot, 10th birthday," said Mitchell Goetze, CEO of Goetze's Candy Company. "Duke has brought our Goetze’s team and Cow Tales® fans lots of happiness over the past DUKEade. Mark this milestone birthday by snacking on some delicious Cow Tales® with a friend!” Cow Tales® are a deliciously creamy and chewy caramel treat loved by candy enthusiasts of all ages. They are made from the same secret family recipe used to make Goetze's Caramel Creams® (also known as "Bulls-Eyes®"). Cow Tales® were named in correlation with "Bulls-Eyes®," maintaining the cow theme to promote Goetze's dedication to making caramel with quality ingredients, including real milk. Original Caramel Cow Tales® were introduced by Goetze's Candy Company in 1984. To keep the name from being taken literally, Goetze's used "Tales" instead of "Tails,” alluding to whimsical and nostalgic children's stories, since this product is a more lighthearted and fun addition to Goetze's Caramel Creams® brand. Last month, the Goetze’s team, colleagues, friends and attendees of the Sweets and Snacks Expo in Indianapolis, Indiana, celebrated Duke’s birthday with a party on the showroom floor. All celebrated by tasting the newly-launched Honey Bun Cow Tales® flavor, taking pictures with the Goetze’s team and enjoying other sweet treats.
