More Peaches & Cream 4Pk is a fruited milkshake-style IPA from More Brewing Co., sold as a four-pack of cans, brewed with real peaches, milk sugar, and vanilla. Part of the brewery's acclaimed Marbles lineup, this release showcases More Brewing's reputation for pushing the boundaries of hop-forward, dessert-inspired ales. Quick Facts: Style: Milkshake-Style IPA | Origin: Illinois, USA | Hops: Amarillo & Azacca | Brewery: More Brewing Co. Production & Heritage More Brewing Co. operates out of Villa Park, Huntley, and Bartlett, Illinois, where the team specializes in hop-saturated ales, imperial stouts, and a rotating cast of inventive one-offs. Peaches & Cream is brewed with a combination of Amarillo and Azacca hops alongside milk sugar (lactose), real peaches, and smooth vanilla. The lactose provides body and residual sweetness, while the hop pairing contributes tropical and stone-fruit character that amplifies the peach additions. The brewery has earned recognition at the U.S. Open Beer Championship, including a silver medal for Strawberry Double Marbles in the Milkshake IPA category and a silver for Muese Valley in Barrel-Aged Quad/Belgian Dark Ale. Tasting Notes Aroma: Ripe peach and tropical fruit lead, supported by a subtle vanilla sweetness and soft hop resin. The lactose lends a faint creamy, yogurt-like quality beneath the fruit. Taste: The entry is juicy and peach-forward, with soft citrus and tropical notes from the Amarillo and Azacca hops arriving at mid-palate. Milk sugar rounds out the mouthfeel with a silky, almost milkshake-like texture, while vanilla weaves through the back half to balance the hop bitterness. Finish: Medium in length with lingering peach skin and a gentle creamy sweetness. Bitterness is restrained, leaving a smooth, fruit-forward impression. How to Drink Peaches & Cream Pour cold into a tulip glass or wide-mouthed pint glass to release the aromatic peach and hop character; this beer is designed to drink fresh. A Peach Shandy variation works well — combine a half-pour with lemonade for a lighter warm-weather drink. It also serves as a compelling base in a Beer-mosa, where its natural peach sweetness pairs with orange juice at brunch. For a dessert-forward serve, try a Peaches & Cream Float by topping a scoop of vanilla ice cream with a slow pour of this beer.

More Brewing's version leans heavily into its fruit additions and vanilla, resulting in a noticeably dessert-forward profile compared to more hop-bitter milkshake IPAs. The use of both Amarillo and Azacca hops adds a tropical complexity that keeps it from reading as purely sweet. Is Peaches & Cream good for beginners?

What foods pair well with Peaches & Cream? Grilled shrimp tacos with mango salsa complement the tropical hop notes. A charcuterie board with soft cheeses like brie mirrors the beer's creamy texture. Vanilla panna cotta or peach cobbler echo the vanilla and stone-fruit flavors. Spicy fried chicken benefits from the lactose sweetness to temper the heat. What sizes does Peaches & Cream come in? This product is sold as a four-pack of cans; the standard More Brewing four-pack format is typical of craft releases in the Chicagoland market. Is Peaches & Cream worth the price? It positions as a craft-premium milkshake IPA, consistent with specialty four-pack pricing from independent Illinois breweries. The use of real peach, lactose, and vanilla additions — rather than extract-only flavoring — supports its standing in the upper tier of the style. Why Peaches & Cream? More Brewing Co. has built a following in Illinois for beers that prioritize flavor intensity without sacrificing drinkability, and Peaches & Cream is a direct expression of that philosophy. The combination of Amarillo and Azacca hops with real peach and vanilla creates a layered profile that goes beyond simple fruit beer territory. The brewery's silver medal at the U.S. Open Beer Championship in the Milkshake IPA category — earned by a sibling release, Strawberry Double Marbles — confirms that this Marbles family of beers competes at a national level.
