Scout Badge is a porter brewed with dark malted barley featuring flavors of “rich chocolate, gooey caramel and a tropical burst of coconut,” according to Sun King’s Facebook post. In the comments section of the post, Sun King says that the batch contains 300 pounds of Samoa cookies.
Sun King marketing and promotions director Beth Belange, who was a Girl Scout, said Scout Badge is the first beer officially licensed by the Girl Scouts. The porter has been in development for years and the lead brewer, Kelly Laut, was also a Girl Scout.
"With Scout Badge, we can use the power of Sun King to spread the mission of the Girl Scouts and girl empowerment," Belange said.
The porter is part of a collaboration between Sun King and the Girl Scouts of Central Indiana. For every four-pack of Scout Badge sold at the downtown location Friday, Sun King said it will donate $1 to the Girl Scouts.
