"I am truly and joyously proud of our collaboration with Lord Hobo," added Vincent Petryk, owner and founder of J.P. Licks. "I feel like if I were in the beer business instead of ice cream, my company would look and feel just like they do! They are quite a kindred spirit to me — their vibe, their look, their unique look. I love their name and their look, the quality of their work, and their commitment to Boston. This was a natural partnership."
Locations where the ice cream stout can be found are listed on Lord Hobo's website.
