That's not too far from where I camp in the spring and fall down there. I'll have to check it out this fall when I'm in the area again.Local place called Bennie and Mae’s and their brown butter bourbon flavor.
I generally only buy Tillamook now. It's a very good, standard grocery store ice cream. But, last week I made a rare trip to Walmart and there was a brand there I've never seen, Hudsonville, and I thought I'd give it a try. OMG, it was SOOO good. I think someone mentioned it upthread. I'm glad I don't go to Walmart often because I'd be in trouble. I haven't seen it in any of my other grocery stores.
It's weird to realize Tillamook is nationwide now. I remember when we really only got it on the Oregon Coast. I guess I should have realized since their creamery is so gargantuan now. I knew it was available much more widely the last 10 to 20 years since I can get it in WA but didn't realize you could get it on the East Coast.
I was thinking so too until I had the Hudsonville yesterday. It's very close. The flavors are different so I don't have a one on one comparison ability. Walmart only carried about 5 flavors. This is the one I had. It has the creaminess of Tillamook and the flavor profile was fairly complex. There is this "butter fudge" stripe in it as well as regular fudge. So good.We love Tillamook. It is not from our area but based in Oregon. It is the best I have bought in any store.

I am in CT and noticed it at the grocery store this weekend. It’s possible they’ve had it for a while but it jumped out to me because of this thread.

Everyone (generally speaking) loves Ben and Jerries and Häagen Dazs ice creams, but often we all have a local ice cream make that blows the competition away.
For me, it's Salcombe Dairy Ice Cream, Salcombe being a small fishing town on the South Coast of England. Superb. Rare to find, but soooo worth it.
What is YOUR outta-the-park ice cream brand?
