We wanted to get our Ben & Jerry's on this weekend but with a Michigan beer flair to it. I've really embraced the salty & sweet thing lately, so when I was pondering how to do this recipe, that kinda became the goal. I had some malted milk powder (which always makes ice cream better), some chocolate covered pretzels and some Poet Oatmeal Stout from New Holland Brewing Company. So I figured that if you throw all those together, as Ina would say, "how bad can that be??".
