Cold brew meets brewski
Rogue Ales & Spirits
combined two favorite beverages in its new beer release. Cold Brew IPA pairs the hoppy notes of a traditional India Pale Ale with the bright, citrusy notes of Stumptown Coffee Roasters’ coffee that’s been cold-brewed for 12 hours.

“We turned two of our favorite things into one and then canned it so we can take it with us when we do our favorite things,” says Rogue president Brett Joyce.

Cold Brew IPA is available nationwide in 12-ounce cans, 22-ounce bottles, and on draft.


Easy-squeeze frosting
The J.M. Smucker Co.
made home baking a little easier with the launch of its first-to-market Pillsbury Filled Pastry Bag. These ready-to-use pastry bags are filled with classic Pillsbury Creamy Supreme frosting and come with a versatile star tip that lets decorators make rosettes, waves, stars, and more.

“The Pillsbury Filled Pastry Bag allows everyday bakers to elevate their treats with inspired designs,” says Maribeth Burns, vice-president, corporate communications, for The J.M. Smucker Co. “We’re excited that this new product helps baking enthusiasts focus on creating memories with family and friends without the hassle of making everything from scratch.”

Available in Vanilla, Chocolate Fudge, and Cream Cheese, the bags contain the same amount of frosting as the traditional 16-ounce tub and will stay fresh for two weeks once opened. They retail for a suggested price of $3.49.


Veggie-boosted instant soup
Nissin
recently introduced a new line of its familiar Cup Noodles that each contain a full serving of vegetables. Cup Noodles Very Veggie contains green beans, carrots, corn, and broccoli alongside the noodles and broth.

Cup Noodles Very Veggie was created in response to increased consumer demand for vegetables, while maintaining the same great taste fans have adored for years,” the company says.

Each variety—Chicken, Spicy Chicken, and Beef—can be prepared in three minutes and contains no added MSG or artificial flavors. The 2.65-ounce containers retail for $0.99.
