The internet-breaking Fruchocs flavoured stout has officially returned

This unique brew, inspired by the flavours of FruChocs, combines peach, apricot, and chocolate to create a taste sensation that sold out online in under 13 minutes when it first launched in 2019.

In celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the iconic FruChocs, Big Shed Brewing Concern is bringing back the record-breaking BruChocs stout!

This unique brew, inspired by the flavours of FruChocs, combines peach, apricot, and chocolate to create a taste sensation that sold out online in under 13 minutes when it first launched in 2019.

Big Shed Brewing Concern has partnered with confectioner Menz to release different FruChocs-inspired brews annually, celebrating FruChocs Appreciation Day. However, this year is extra special, marking the 75th anniversary of FruChocs and the 5th anniversary of BruChocs. To commemorate this milestone, the original BruChocs stout is returning with its vintage-inspired packaging and the beloved milk chocolate, peach, and apricot flavor profile.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome back the original BruChocs stout to celebrate FruChocs Appreciation Day,” said Phil Sims, Menz CEO.

“There’s a reason FruChocs are still around after 75 years and it’s the iconic mix of tart peach, sweet apricot and rich milk chocolate that fans adore. The brewers at Big Shed have absolutely captured that in their BruChocs stout and we have no doubt that this year’s release will be just as big of a hit as it was in 2019.”

Big Shed Brewing co-owner Craig Basford said, “While its always been fun to play with the different styles of FruChoc over the journey, we thought that for the 75th anniversary, and the 5th anniversary of BruChocs, it was time to go back to the OG.

“In our humble opinion it’s the best one we’ve done so it’s amazing to have it back to celebrate this SA icon.”

The 2023 BruChocs release will be available for a limited time only, starting from FruChocs Appreciation Day on 29th September. Fans are advised to stay tuned to Big Shed’s social media for stockist information and to act fast to get their hands on this sought-after brew.
