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.

How does Peaches & Cream compare to other milkshake IPAs? 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.

Where is Peaches & Cream made? It is brewed by More Brewing Co. in Illinois, with brewery locations in Villa Park, Huntley, and Bartlett, all in the greater Chicagoland area.

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.
